How much does the Hardinge Kellenberger K1000 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from Hardinge. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Kellenberger K1000 is a CNC grinding machine with a 10 kW grinding spindle for external work and a maximum table load of 300 kg, operated through the BLUE Solution interface. Those are the only figures the manufacturer's page gives for it, so this page stays within them.
Ten kilowatts at the wheel is the figure to start from. It sits above the Kellenberger K10, whose table lists 7.5 kW of spindle power, which points to wider wheels or heavier stock removal per pass than the smaller machine is built for. The 300 kg load works in the other direction: it bounds the combined weight of the part and whatever holds it on the table. It matches the 300 kg (661 lb) table load of the Kellenberger H2000, a jig grinder built for a quite different kind of part.
What is missing decides whether a part fits at all. The listed rows give no distance between centres, no centre height, no wheel size and no control model. Ask for those before shortlisting the machine, and check the internal grinding options at the same time, because the table only states power for external grinding.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10 kW grinding spindle for external grinding, against the 7.5 kW spindle power listed for the Kellenberger K10
- Table load of up to 300 kg, which leaves room for a heavy part together with its workholding
- BLUE Solution operator interface is listed for the machine
Limitations
- No centre distance, centre height or wheel dimensions are published in the table, so part capacity has to be confirmed with the supplier
- Power is stated only for external grinding at 10 kW; no internal grinding spindle figure is given
- The control model, machine weight and footprint are not listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The grinding spindle is listed at 10 kW, and the same 10 kW figure is given for external grinding. No separate figure is published for an internal grinding spindle, so if the work includes bores, ask which internal spindles can be fitted and what they are rated at.
02
The maximum table load is 300 kg. Treat that as the limit for the workpiece plus chuck, driver, steady rests or any fixture mounted with it, and check it against the heaviest job you expect to run, not the typical one.
03
On drive power the K1000 is the larger machine: 10 kW at the grinding spindle against the 7.5 kW spindle power in the Kellenberger K10 table. The Kellenberger K10 table also gives 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of Z travel and 365 mm (14.4 in) of X travel. Equivalent travel figures are not published for the K1000, so a size comparison cannot be made from the listed rows.
