Yes I have had one for some time now. As you say it roughs out bowls
quick quick. But it is a Roughing tool, dont expect a perfect finish,
tho it does give a finish where you can start sanding at say 120 grit.
Its biggest advantage for me is that you don't need to sway your body to get
it to work perfectly. A big boon, if like me you are a disabled turner.

Has anyone used this tool? I've seen a couple of videos and it seems to
rough out bowls pretty easily.
It would seem to be nice for cherry burls with a lot of bark.
