I believe the answer is:

seesaw

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go from one extreme to another' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'check out woodcutter' is the wordplay.
'check out' becomes 'see' (I've seen this in another clue).
'woodcutter' becomes 'saw' (I've seen this in another clue).
'see'+'saw'='SEESAW'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seesaw that I've seen before include "Fluctuate" , "Plaything that's ridden up and down" , "Playground device" , "Go one way and then the other" , "Recreation ground item" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
