Description

Foley Belsaw 355 Automatic Carriage Knife Grinder

The Foley Belsaw 355 Automatic Carriage Knife Grinder is a productivity-enhancing attachment that converts your manual Foley Belsaw 355 into a fully functioning automatic knife grinding machine.

Designed for sharpening shops, tree removal services, and industrial maintenance departments, this automatic carriage allows the grinder to perform repetitive grinding passes automatically, freeing operators to work on other sharpening tasks at the same time.

 

Increase Productivity & Save Time

Instead of manually moving the grinding carriage during every sharpening pass, the automatic carriage does the work for you.

Benefits include:

• Increased sharpening efficiency
• Reduced operator fatigue
• More consistent grinding passes
• Ability to work on other tooling simultaneously
• Improved shop productivity

For busy sharpening operations, this can significantly increase daily output.

 

Adjustable Travel for Knives from 3″ to 36″

The automatic carriage can be quickly adjusted to accommodate knives ranging from 3″ to 36″ in length.  The travel length can be adjusted in seconds and can even be modified while the carriage is in motion, making setup fast and efficient.

 

Switch Between Manual & Automatic Operation

The system allows operators to switch from manual grinding to automatic grinding in less than 20 seconds. This flexibility makes it easy to choose the best grinding method for each sharpening application.

 

Easy Installation – No Drilling Required

The automatic carriage comes fully assembled and includes:

• Motor
• Drive unit
• Mounting brackets
• Installation instructions

Installation is simple and requires:

• No drilling

• No machine modifications

The unit mounts directly to the existing top leg bolt holes already found on the Foley Belsaw 355.

 

Improved Stability & Grinding Performance

In addition to providing automatic operation, the carriage assembly helps add stability to the existing grinder motor system. Benefits include:

• Smoother carriage movement
• Consistent grinding passes
• Improved machine stability

Many sharpening professionals consider it one of the most effective upgrades available for the Foley Belsaw 355.
