Sharprite sharpener

[Jeff]

I could file a 56" 50 tooth headsaw as quick as I could properly change the teeth, and I could grind them with a jockey grinder in right around a minute.

Have to say that would be great in the field if you didn't have a dedicated resharp system.

Potential issues may be where he was hitting the tooth face, and you could hear a few skips. Looks like it may accidently buggar a tooth face, if you're not careful. I'm usually to tired to concentrate on holding something like that when sawing. Much easier to change out a blade and go.

The real problem I see from a manufacturer's view point (which I am) is if you have to charge that much to offer the sharpener it's going to have marketability problems right out the gate. That's one of the key issues that kill a product.  I only know so well...  : ... :D

Is it legal to use other manufacturers logos like they do on that video? I thought most logos are copyrighted. I like the concept of that sharpener, but I think it is way too much money.

Trademark infringement.  They are skating on thin ice I would think. It's kinda using those other companies as an endorsement, instead of just showing different styles of mills, or any of the mills- just not naming them.

Say they were using my companies name, and I liked his business and product and benefited from it, I would not mind, but if they had a shady product and reputation, or directly competed with me, well I would not want my name near it.

They are directly using competitors trademark/tradestyles in the video to sell sharpeners which they all offer, so I think it would definitely be frowned on across the board.

I wouldn't be happy.

If they had the Forestry Forum logo on there without my knowledge or consent, I'd be all over them.

I'll take a cooks or wood mizer sharpener over the sharprite any day of the week.

It least they don't have to use someone elses well known names in their videos to sell their products.

yes, I have pictures of a woodmizer LT-10 on my website, but it is the one I bought and own. I also have a picture of the Twister Industries firewood bundler, but again I own one and if you called Chuck at Twister Industries, he would be happy to tell you that he is glad I have a picture of his bundler on my website, especially since I have sold several of them for him without so much as taking a cent of commission because I beleive in his product and the support he provides his customers and the quality of his product.

[Jeff]

It is not the picture of the product in question but the use of the logo.

Don't Baker have a sharpener  that hangs on the blade that is power fed?

The Wood-Mizer sawmill videos and our name have to go. You can not use them in your advertising. Our name need to come off the title of the video as well. Please remove them immediately.
