Several years ago I purchased a Robert Sorby RS200KT Multi-tip Hollowing
tool. I haven't used it very much over the years but as I see the
popularity of the Woodchuck "Bowl Pro" grow, I would like to hear from some
of you who may have used both and a brief comparison of utility.

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..
