........Why not just try it yourself and see?
But give some people the benefit of the doubt. We haven't been in business for over 40yrs. deceiving or cheating people.

Good comment James. Glad you did step in, as it was becomming a run-away-discussion.
We need to make our own minds up with most advertising we see, and not be negative regards an attempt to give us materials with which to make a decision.

If I were to compare the different blades, I think I would make up a "sled" with the blades as runners. Then have the different blades be the "runners" and drag that sled across a piece of wood (but end grain, not side grain for reality) while measuring the pull of the drag using something like a pound scale.

I have posted before that we didn't have any luck with the supersharp blades when we tried that. Might just be us.  But never doubt the quality and endurance of their sharpener. You can change hook angles, change pitch and depth of grind (through different cams), different widths. Its easy to use. Woodmizer may have a more "pure" grinder with their new one. And for some people that will be the cat's meow. But with the Cook's,  when you have to change hook angle due to going to frozen logs, its a snap. You can try different blades with different teeth spacing, simply by changing the cam. Try different gullet configurations. The price can't be beat. Not sure what year we bought ours but its got to be at least 13 or 14 years old. If you want a versatile grinder that gets the job done, it will.

After removing the last post made here, which I feel was way out of line. This topic has been locked.  Remember, this forum is here to help, and our sponsors and future sponsors make sure it remains here to do just that. Putting a sponsor, or any company for that matter in a no-win position and then continuing to take jabs at them is not the Forestry Forum way.  If you want answers from a sponsor on something outside of the norm, use a more private way of doing it.
