Yes and if I recall correctly there's already a commercial knock-off of the Rougher.
The Easy Wood tools are exxy for us to buy from the US once the postage and exchange rates are factored in; on the other hand, there's a bit of the Rolls Royce about them. V. nicely done handles (not to my taste as it happens) and stainless shafts.
If folk were doing exact cost comparisons they'd be factoring in the stainless shaft, turning a round section on it for fitting into a handle, and turning that handle with a similar finish.
Edit: another point of comparison would be a conventional round edge scraper out of HSS, unhandled in this case. Add in the effort required to get the polished planes that form a fine edge equivalent to the Ci0 .... add in the extra sharpening/polishing after wear that at a guess would be required ...Cheers, Ern

I doubt it TM, cup tools have their limitations like all tools. I suspect if you can turn with micrometer precision then the tool will leave a good finish. A bigger dia would help as well.I suspect that there is something wrong with my technique.
"Unprecedented ease in hollowing, finishing, and thin wall turning make this tool a must in every turner's arsenal."Oneway calls it's version the Termite and it comes with a router mounted sharpening jig.

I am not sure I would go that far with a ring tool
but its good advertising blurb

Yes in terms of technique, when you're hollowing a bowl with a conventional bowl gouge, the bevel allows a degree of 'self-jigging' if that makes sense. Provided the start at the rim gives good registration, and leaving out questions of bevel length and match to the bowl radius, you can travel down the bowl wall getting some guidance from the bevel heel.
In fact you can do it with one hand as the 'toe' is supported on two sides in the emerging cut and the heel provides a third point of support.
At least that's how I understand it
Cheers, Ern
