CLIMAX will, at its option, either repair or replace the defective part and/ or correct any defect in the labor performed, both at no charge, and return the part or repaired machine shipping prepaid.
The appendices contain supplemental product information to aid in setup, operation, and maintenance tasks. Read this entire manual to familiarize yourself with the KM3000 before attempt- ing to set it up or operate it. AFETY ALERTS Pay careful attention to the safety alerts printed throughout this manual.
ENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CLIMAX leads the way in promoting the safe use of portable machine tools and valve testers. Safety is a joint effort. You, the end user, must do your part by being aware of your work environment and closely following the operating procedures and safety precautions contained in this manual, as well as your employer’s safety...
and interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other injuries. Except for stationary operating controls, avoid contact with mov- ing parts by hands or tools during machine operation. Remove gloves and secure hair, clothing, jewelry, and pocket items to prevent them from becoming entangled in moving parts.
Due to the unique nature of portable machining applications, identifying one or more hazards that must be addressed is typical. When performing the on-site risk assessment, it is important to consider the Porta- ble Machine Tool and the workpiece as a whole. Page 4 KM3000 Operating Manual...
ISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST The following checklist is not intended to be an all inclusive list of things to watch out for when setting up and operating this Portable Machine Tool. However, these checklists are typical of the types of risks the assembler and operator should con- sider.
ABELS The following warning and identification labels should be on your machine. If any are defaced or missing, contact CLIMAX immediately for replacements. 1-3. KM3000 ABLE LABELS P/N 59037 P/N 59044 Warning label: Warning label: wear ear pro- read the operating...
The auto- matically centering V-base is quick and easy to set up. The KM3000 clamps on any shaft up to 4.5" (114 mm) in diameter with the standard bar clamp. Cut stub- end keyways or mid-shaft keyways.

Precision ACME thread leadscrew with roller thrust bearings • Sealed aluminum alloy gearbox permits operation at any angle • Precision ground quill housing assures smooth operation • The KM3000 key mill machine only needs 1.5" (38 mm) of shaft for clamping. Page 8 KM3000 Operating Manual...
• Zeroing-type adjusting dial for controlling cutter depth The KM3000 key mill machine is designed to mount onto shafts from 1.5–4.5" (38–114 mm) in diameter. An optional chain clamp extends its application to fit onto shafts up to 10.5" (267 mm) in diameter. To fit shafts as small as 0.75" (19.1 mm) diameter, an optional shim kit is available.
2.2.2 Hydraulic power Table 2-2 on page 11 lists operating specifications of the hydraulically powered version of the KM3000 using standard mineral-based hydraulic oil. CAUTION A hydraulically powered KM3000 operating with flame retardant, water/ glycol-based hydraulic fluid has operating specifications different from those listed below.
Page 23
CAUTION To avoid damaging the power unit pump, connect the hydraulic motor to the power unit before turning it on. The end mill turning direction on a hydraulically powered KM3000 depends on hydraulic line connections (see Figure 2-4). 2-4. HPU...

IFTING AND RIGGING The KM3000 can be lifted from its crate by hand or using a strap fed underneath the gearbox between the quill and the vertical adjustment shaft, as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 18. 3-1. L IGURE...
2. Insert an end mill into the spindle with its flat aligned to the locking setscrew (see Figure 3-2). Degrease and thoroughly dry any collet used to hold small end mills. 3. While turning the vertical adjustment screw to raise or lower the quill housing, adjust the quill clamp to allow enough friction to hold the housing without preventing its travel.
Page 32
5. Start tightening at 20 ft-lbs (27.2 Nm) of torque. Torque the clamps evenly in 10 ft-lb (13.6 Nm) increments. CAUTION To avoid damaging the clamp bar do not tighten the clamps over 60 ft- lbs (81.6 Nm.) Page 20 KM3000 Operating Manual...
END MOUNTING The mounting base of the key mill can extend beyond the end of a shaft provided the bar clamp is inboard not less than 1.5" (38 mm). See Figure 3-4 Do the following: 1. Set the key mill with the mounting base extending over the end of the shaft.
A shim kit (P/N 11669) is available from your factory representative or by calling CLIMAX. ENCH VISE MOUNTING One available configuration is to clamp the key mill in a bench vise and use it as a stationary milling machine for small parts.
3.10 ERTICAL ADJUSTMENT The vertical adjustment screw sets the depth of the end mill. Turning clockwise moves the end mill down; counterclockwise moves it up. The dial is graduated in 0.001" (.025 mm) increments. CAUTION The key mill has a maximum vertical adjustment height of 1.75" (44 mm) from the bottommost position.

4. Connect the air supply line. 5. Press the emergency lever up until the word can be seen from the top OPEN of the valve. Check that the lever is pushed all the way. Page 26 KM3000 Operating Manual...
PECIAL REQUIREMENTS Machining out-of-the-ordinary keyways and other exceptional on-site milling jobs are well within the scope of the KM3000. With just a little creativity, the KM3000 works well on almost any operation calling for the milling of slots, flats, elongated holes, or other like features.
1. Secure the shaft so it will not rotate. 2. Referring to Figure 8 below, mount the key mill on top of the shaft, setting it level as described in Section 3.4 on page 19. Page 28 KM3000 Operating Manual...
Page 41
4-3. A IGURE XIALLY SPACED KEYWAYS 3. Cut the keyway as described in Section 4.2 on page 25. 4. Reposition the machine to the side of the shaft. Place a level on the side of the base to verify the machine is 90° to the first keyway. 5.
2. Set the key mill level on the shaft. 3. Secure the key mill to the shaft evenly by alternating tightening one 4-4. C IGURE ROSS MILLING bar clamp nut then the other. Page 30 KM3000 Operating Manual...
Section 5.3.9 on Check periodically that air pressure is 80 psi (5.5 bar.) page 35 PPROVED LUBRICANTS CLIMAX recommends using the following lubricants at the locations indicated. Failure to use the appropriate lubricants can result in damage and premature machine wear. NOTICE Before servicing the machine with any of the lubricants in Table 5-2, consult the manufacturer’s MSDS.

A ABLE PPROVED LUBRICANTS Lubricant Brand Application Area Lubricant Jet Lube 550 Cutting bit set screw in quill Mobil VACTRA #2 Way oil Dovetail ways Heavy-Medium Way Oil Hydraulic system Hydraulic fluid Mobil DTE-24 Quill housing WARNING Disconnect the machine from power before servicing the machine. CAUTION Avoid damage to the machine and protect your warranty by using only approved lubricants.
7. Put a coat of grease over gears and in all crevices. 5.3.7 Adjusting screw and cover Do the following to adjust the screw and cover: 1. Place the vertical adjusting lead screw into the gearbox. Page 34 KM3000 Operating Manual...
2. Place the cover on the gearbox and screw down using six 8-32 x 5/8" screws. NOTICE Do not over-tighten the screws. 3. Push the dial knob onto the vertical lead screw, followed by the spring washer, thrust washer and then the snap ring. 4.
When new, change the filter after the first 72 hours of operation to remove any impurities in the system. From then on, replace the filter every 150–200 hours. Use a high-quality filter. CLIMAX recommends a 10-micron industrial-grade fil- ter. If the filtering system has a change-warning gauge, change the filter as often as the gauge indicates.
To decommission the key mill machine prior to disposal, remove the drive assem- bly from the RDU and dispose of the drive assembly separately from the rest of the machine components. Refer to Appendix A for component assembly information. Page 38 KM3000 Operating Manual...
