Built with American Pride

A fine example of American craftsmanship, our C1020L2 and Scepter Cylindrical Grinders are built 100% in the U.S.A. and designed to provide an uncomplicated grinding system at an economical price. Both models feature annealed cast-iron construction throughout the entire machine, including the base, wheelhead, saddle and table. This quality construction provides the C1020 & Scepter with a lifetime of stability and accuracy. The special saddle infeed construction and table features a pre-loaded anti-friction way system, for extreme accuracy of movement.

Scepter
K.O. LEE's SCEPTER is a Precision CNC Cylindrical Grinding Machine designed for fast setup and grinding of multi-diameter parts at a very economical price.

The SCEPTER is equipped with a NUM 1020 CNC control which provides simultaneous movement of the machine's two (2) axes. The table and wheelhead axes are driven by AC Digital servo motors via precision ground ballscrews.
The wheelhead axis is equipped with linear glass scale feedback for increased accuracy. The SCEPTER offers a grinding capacity of 10" (250mm) swing with 20" (500mm) between the machine to be used for center and chuck work.
Machine accuracy is improved by the use of pre-loaded linear guideways on the table and wheelhead axes. All linear way bearings and ballscrews are lubricated by a central air/oil lubrication system, providing positive pressure protection to these critical areas. A 5-HP (3.75 kw) spindle motor drives the machine's 14" (350mm) diameter grinding wheel.
The SCEPTER control provides graphical representation of grinding and dressing cycles for quick and easy setup. A standard 2D CAD package enables the control to be programmed at the machine for complex wheel forms and contour generation on the workpiece. Background programming is also available as well as up-loading and down-loading via the RS 232 port.
