RAY FOSTER - AG04 Alloy Grinder with Self-Contained Dust Collector, 110V 50/60Hz

RAY FOSTER Model AG04 High-Speed Alloy Grinder with Self-Contained Dust Collector — 110V

For over 85 years, RAY FOSTER Dental Equipment has manufactured precision Alloy Grinders in Southern California for dental laboratories worldwide. The FOSTER Alloy Grinder is the proven workhorse for sprue separation and the finishing and polishing of chrome-cobalt Alloy framework — rugged, comfortable, and built to last.

The AG04 packages the proven FOSTER automatic-spindle Grinder with a fully self-contained dust collector — a one-piece station for labs that don’t want a separate extraction unit on the bench.

Key Features

• Self-contained dust collector built into the chassis — no external unit required
• Dual belt-controlled speeds: 10,000 and 24,000 RPM
• Heavy-duty 1/3 HP capacitor-start motor in totally enclosed housing
• Fully adjustable safety shield and integrated light assembly
• Adjustable spindle working height for operator comfort
• Precision high-speed automatic spindle — change tools without stopping the motor
• UL-recognized and CSA-certified motor for electrical safety
• Totally enclosed motor housing
• Manufactured in the United States — family-owned since 1938
• 110V 50/60 Hz

Key Selling Points

• One-box solution — Grinder + dust collection in a single unit
• Saves bench space vs. running a separate cyclone or shop-vac
• Same time-saving FOSTER automatic spindle as the AG03
• UL/CSA-certified motor — lab-insurance-friendly

What Makes This Unique

Most labs running a basic Grinder need to add a dust collector after the fact. The AG04 ships with collection built in — no hose run, no extra outlet, no extra cord. It’s the right choice when the lab has limited bench space or doesn’t already own a cyclone.

SELLING TIPS

• Sell the all-in-one story. Grinder + dust collection in a single unit. No additional cyclone purchase needed for most labs.
• Sell the spindle. The high-speed automatic spindle is FOSTER’s original design and the most copied feature in this category.
• Talk safety to the lab owner. UL/CSA-rated motor, totally enclosed housing, integrated safety shield with light.
• Voltage for export. 220V variants ship for Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe out of our Miami consolidation.
• Position vs. AG03-MDCC: AG04 has a self-contained internal collector. AG03-MDCC adds the external CDC1 Cyclone — cyclone Units capture finer particulates and are better for high-volume CrCo labs. AG04 is the budget-friendly all-in-one.
• Lab managers love it: single SKU, single warranty, single setup — no second machine to maintain.
