This Kent KGS-63SD is a used grinding machine — also commonly referred to as a surface grinder — designed for precision flat grinding of metal workpieces. Surface grinders are a cornerstone of metalworking and toolroom operations, used to produce highly accurate, flat, and smooth surfaces on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Kent is a well-established manufacturer of precision machine tools, particularly known for its surface grinders, machining centres, and related equipment, serving metalworking, toolmaking, and general manufacturing industries worldwide.
Two units of this machine are available from this listing, both located in Portugal and dating from 1997. The machines are offered in used condition at a price of $7,500.
The working envelope is defined by a maximum grinding length of 750 mm, a maximum grinding width of 500 mm, and a maximum grinding height of 625 mm, giving the machine a generous capacity for a broad range of workpieces. The grinding area measures 600 x 350 x 360 mm, and the maximum distance from the table surface to the centre of the grinding spindle is 495 mm. The table measures 750 x 500 mm and travels at a variable speed of 2 to 20 m/min, allowing the operator to match feed rate to the material and finish requirement.
The machine is equipped with an electromagnetic chuck measuring 750 x 300 mm, which secures ferromagnetic workpieces firmly to the table during grinding without mechanical clamping. Electrical cross feed operates at 1.20 m/min, while intermittent cross feed is adjustable across a wide range of 2 to 60 m/min. The grinding wheel measures 355 x 26–38 mm in working form, with an overall wheel size of 400 x 80 mm, and runs at a spindle speed of 1,500 rpm. Total installed power is 6.5 kW at 380 volts, which is the standard three-phase industrial supply.
The overall machine footprint is 3,100 x 2,400 x 2,200 mm and the machine weighs 3,500 kg, reflecting a robust, vibration-resistant construction that is important for achieving consistent grinding accuracy.
