Feel free to post it anywhere, Len..
I'm going to send Ken an Email tomorrow telling about the piece I did today..
Formed, hollowed and ready to sand in about 4 hours, which is like 1/3 of what
it took before this tool..


Mac, would you mind if I copied this and posted it on the IAP site
where Ken is a fellow member. Or better yet you could join yourself
(if you haven't already) and post it. Lots of good folks there with
some great info to share.

I got the Woodchuck "Bowl-Pro" tool and I'm lovin' it..
Anyone that is considering the EX Rougher should go for Woodchuck tools by Ken
Ferrel..
http://www.woodchuck-tools.com/

The price on the tool was $65, which included 2 different size/radius carbide
cutters.. Half the price of the EZ and the same tool..

I bought it to rough irregular ironwood blanks but in playing with it, I was
even doing beads and curves with ease..
Used level like a scraper, you can hog out huge amounts of wood but I feel it
really shines on light cuts.. Nice smooth cut, very little force on the tool
rest and NO force or vibration on your hands..

Inserts are inexpensive, especially compared to the hunter type cutters...

I exchanged a few emails with Ken before ordering one and he was very helpful
and informative.. He not only explained what the tool could do, but what it
can't..
I hate buying a tool that I think is going to solve a problem and doesn't do
what I thought it would..

Anyway, I'm impressed with the tool and Ken's customer service...
I had problems and questions after receiving the tool, and got excellent help on
a one-on-one basis, not on the corporate level..

Shipping was about 8 bucks and he provides a tracking number..
