OverviewThe CLIMAX KM3000 Key Mill is a portable keyway milling machine engineered to cut full-depth keyways and mill flats directly on shafts, minimizing downtime by avoiding major disassembly or shop transports. Designed for field service, it supports shaft diameters from 0.75 to 10.5 in (19.1 to 266.7 mm) and is available with electric, pneumatic or hydraulic power options.
ApplicationsIdeal for on-site maintenance, repair and retrofit work where speed, repeatability and shaft-level machining are required. Typical uses include cutting end and mid-shaft keyways, machining flats for motor mounts and in-place repairs of rotating equipment.
Product Advantages- Portable, compact design for in-place machining without extensive dismantling.
- Self-centering V-base for fast alignment and accurate centering of the keyway on the shaft.
- Standard bar clamp secures shafts from 1.5 to 4.5 in (38.1–114.3 mm); optional chain clamp extends capacity to 10.5 in (266.7 mm).
- Slotted V-base permits cutting to the end of the shaft; suitable for both stub-end and mid-shaft keyways.
- Versatile T-handle hand crank and dovetail ways deliver controlled vertical and horizontal feed.
- Weldon-type spindle accepts 5/8 in end mills or 16 mm shank mills on metric machines.
- Precision Acme leadscrew with roller thrust bearings for smooth, low-friction advancement.
- Zeroing vertical adjustment dial calibrated to 0.001 in (0.1 mm) increments for repeatable depth control.
- Sealed aluminum-alloy gearbox and precision-ground quill housing for reliable operation at any angle.
- Motor with soft-start and speed-maintain features under load; CE and CSA certifications where required.
