Yes I've tried it multiple times.
Yes, it works. It's a single radius machine.
My professor Martin Schuring likes it, and says it's no better or no worse than any other gouging machines he's used.
I personally dislike single radius gouging machines and like to be able to adjust the thickness of the sides.
If you're really thinking about buying a machine, I'd wait and put your name down for a Westwind Gouging machine, which looks like it might be one of the best constructed machines yet.

Cooper,
Is the Westind machine a double radius machine? It looks like a RDG so I assume its single, but I love the idea of buying a kit to switch an oboe machine to and EH or d'amore machine and vise versa.

Bryan -
I'm new to this forum and I don't know whether it's appropriate to speak for my own product, but please explain the rules if I an transgressing...
The Westwind gouger, in addition to allowing a switch from and to different flavors of the oboe family, has sufficient precision adjustment to produce any sidewall thickness you choose, so it is a single radius machine if you choose to gouge on the center line or a double radius gouger if you choose to gouge at some remove off of the center line.
For more information go to the Westwind Double Reed site and look at the Gouger Information page.

Cooper et al.,
At lunch after my weekly Wednesday oboe lesson with Bob, he confirmed just what you said. He's waiting for parts that jibe.
Best,
