    No, I haven't. John is a member of the Metal Arts Society of
    Southern California and my recommendation was based on feedback from
    other MASSC members. 

    As to what the tool does, the explanation seems pretty clear to me:
    It allows you to cut perfect 90 or 60 degree grooves in metal. You
    butt the tool up against a vertical surface (such as John's clamp
    device) and draw it down the metal. The carbide cutter does the
    cutting at the desired angle. When you're done, you fold the metal up
    along the groove you just cut. 

    John creates exquisite boxes, by the way. I wish there were a good
    image on line to link to but I can't find anything. 

Beth
