Description
Overview:
This Counter Blade Housing is a genuine Stihl OEM component for the GB 460 and GB 460.1 C garden shredders. It holds and supports the counter blade (anvil) inside the shredding chamber so the rotor knives can shear material cleanly and safely. Built from robust metal for long service life, it helps maintain correct clearances and alignment under demanding loads. Supplied as Stihl part number 6012 702 0500 (also referenced as 60127020500), it is a direct replacement for a worn, cracked, or damaged housing that may cause poor cutting performance, increased vibration, or blockages. Suitable for professional and domestic users who need reliable, repeatable shredding results, it restores factory fit and function without modification when used on the specified GB 460 series machines.
