Recently bought a couple for culinary duty.

See where they have a wood working version that can be chucked in a
drill press as an alternate to a sanding drum.

Anybody ever use one?

If so, how did it work out?

I think the french fries it makes are way too small.

Never used one of the rotary ones but have used their rasp. Sure hope it
works better on veggies than it does on wood. Might work pretty well on
balsa but pretty worthless for anything harder.

Yup - once.

It didn't. Save your money for something better.

Works well on madrone perches in my parrot's cage!

Loads, but not a powered version. Love them.

They cut well, but they are fragile. They'll fold and crimp if you put
too much weight on them, they're also quite soft so cutting something
grittily abrasive will blunt them. If CW found his not to cut, then
I'd suggest that it had probably cut a lot better when new, but had
been blunted by something too hard.

Leaves a very rough surface actually, bought a Delta BOSS and that
problem was solved.
