Foley 460 Automated Rotary Blade Grinder
Advantages & Benefits
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. The automated infeed and built-in blade balancing system allows for a faster, safer and more consistent blad sharpening process.
While the OEMs recommend grinding every eight to ten hours of use for maximum engineered performance, the 460 will reduce your labour, 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.

OEM End of Grind Blend Radius
The cutting edges of OEM blades feature a blend-out radius to minimize material stresses. That radius can now be replicated with our patent-pending blend radius grinding feature, producing more consistent and safer results.
Built-in Blade Balancing System
This unique design ensures not only a perfectly sharpened blade but also one that's properly balanced - all without any secondary operations.
Adjustable Height / Angle
Ensures clearance with a variety of "airfoil-lift" blade designs. The Pivot feature allows for angle adjustments to match OEM grind angle specifications.
Reliable Centering
Quickly and securely aligns and positions the blade for precise sharpening.
Dual Grinding Heads
By grinding both cutting edges simultaneously, operators can realize time savings of up to 70%.
Proximity Switches
Fast and consistent set-up for identical blades is achieved with durable traverse-proximity switches. The result is a perfect, consistent grind every time.
Blend Radius Relief Slide Bar
The measuring decal associated with the relief slide bar makes the set-up process extremely fast. This is one of the many features that makes the repeatability of set-up easy and reduces the amount of time to change from different blade types to mere seconds.
