ProSport UK Puts Quality of Cut at the Heart of GroundsFest Display

ProSport UK Puts Quality of Cut at the Heart of GroundsFest Display

ProSport UK will put quality of cut at the centre of its GroundsFest display as it brings the Foley 672 Accu-Pro AT and 642 Quick-Spin Reel Grinder to Stand 46.

Listed under the Foley Company name, ProSport will demonstrate how accurate bedknife and reel grinding can improve cutting performance, turf presentation, and workshop efficiency.

The Foley 672 Accu-Pro AT semi-automatic bedknife grinder has been designed to deliver consistent results while simplifying setup and operation. Fast angle positioning, electromagnetic mounting, and a precision traverse system help operators achieve an accurate grind across a wide range of bedknives.

Alongside it, the floor-level Foley 642 Quick-Spin provides a practical solution for touch-up spin grinding between scheduled relief grinds. Its roll-on, roll-off design removes the need for lifting equipment, making it particularly suited to the wider and heavier cutting units commonly used on sports pitches.

Capable of accommodating reels up to 42 inches wide, the 642 allows operators to restore a sharp cutting edge quickly, helping to reduce machinery downtime and preserve the reel-to-bedknife relationship required for a clean, consistent cut.

For facilities managing demanding mowing schedules, in-house grinding gives workshop teams greater control over when cutting units are serviced. Reels and bedknives can be maintained as part of a planned programme rather than waiting for cutting performance to decline, helping machinery return to work quickly and deliver a consistently high-quality finish throughout the season.

Together, the two machines demonstrate a complementary approach to sharpening, combining accurate bedknife grinding with fast reel touch-ups. Visitors to Stand 46 will be able to speak with ProSport UK Managing Director Ian Robson about their existing grinding arrangements, workshop requirements, and the most suitable approach for their machinery fleet.

As Foley Company’s UK dealer, ProSport provides grinding machinery, technical knowledge, and ongoing support to customers across the professional turf industry. Its offering also includes Salsco petrol and electric greens rollers, which it distributes throughout the UK following Foley Company’s acquisition of Salsco.
