Bassoon Cane Splitter
4 way splitter for bassoon cane, similar to H-28

Oboe Cane Guillotine
Trims oboe cane to length before gouging. Now adjustable, to use with any oboe gouger!

Think this would substitute for pre gouging?

The 4 way splitter should work just fine. Bassoon cane is the same diameter as clarinet cane, just thinner walled.
The oboe guillotine will not work for clarinet cane, the diameter is too different. I would look into a bassoon guillotine. I have the RDG bassoon guillotine, however I wouldn't recommend it highly. It does not cut through the thicker clarinet cane as cleanly as I would like.
Reeds n Stuff makes a clarinet specific model, however it's quite pricey.
Considering the high price of these guillotines, I'm personally looking into a small power tool solution. I'm hoping I can find something along that price range that cuts cleaner with less effort, but is also quite safe...
Good luck,
Joe

I was just chatting online with a member of the bboard and he recommended this:
http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=83418
Checks in at just under $200
It's smaller than it may look (9inches square footprint)
automatic blade guard and adjustable stop plate for lengths up to 12 inches
I think I might be sold.....
