Arbortech makes a wheel similar to that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8vp73Cv0js
I never purchased one because it's about 10X the cost of the Bad Blade. I just might consider getting one so report on your results.

Allen, yes I've seen the Arbotech version. You're right, the cost kept me from going with that one without getting to experience one. So, preliminary results on the Bad Blade are: It slices, it dices, it cuts wood like butter! I tried it briefly on a piece of pecan and it didnt even hesitate. Then I used it on some masks I am making. Certainly reduced the amount of time it takes me to remove large waste pieces of wood.

Now I don't know how the quality might compare with the Arbortech. For the price, i would expect this not to last as long. We'll see. Also didn't check warranty. for $15 there probably isn't one. :P
