Foley 460 Automated Rotary Blade Grinder

Model: FOLEY460
Foley

The most innovative product to enter the turfcare industry in years! Fully enclosed to keep dust and noise in, and dual grinding heads that result in time savings of up to 70%. Reproduce the OEM grind surface with minimal effort. And the automated infeed and built-in blade balancing system allow for a faster, safer and more consistent blad sharpening process.

While the OEM’s recommend grinding every eight to ten hours of use for maximum engineered performance, the 460 will reduce your labor, will reduce your effort, and provide the best grind possible for your cutting unit investment. More stress on hydraulics, added strain on your engine, and increased fuel consumption is typical when blades are not sharpened regularly.

  • 5” (127 mm) diameter cupped grinding wheels (2)
  • Patent pending dual head and relief radius system
  • Structurally engineered steel frame
  • Safety guarding standard
  • Automatic grind control system
