Foley 357 carbide grinder

[Frank S]

I've looked over Foley-Belsaw equipment over the years. All were more 'dedicated' to circular saw blades, planer knives, plane knives, hand saws. Can't recall any with a machine tool (T-slotted) basis. That opens a lot of potential.
Closest to machine-tool pattern, one of their surface grinders, deceivingly normal, about 6" x 12" work envelope. I'd guess those were re-badged, manufactured elsewhere.

It's obviously no Gallmeyer & Livingston , Brown &Sharpe or Cincinatti and has way more features than the Clarkston that I used to own.
Like a guy who owned a grinding shop once told me, It's a manual machine that various types sizes and shaped grinding wheels can be mounted on with a grinding head that can be rotated in 2 axis and moves in the Y plane and has an adjustable Z plane but it's ability to do precision custom grinds is limited by 2 things Imagination and attachments either factory supplied, or user made.
I have a 12" miter saw with a carbide blade in it for cutting our aluminum planking if I only ever use the machine to resharpen that blade twice it will more than have paid for itself and the fuel I spent to go and bring it home.
