3.12 KM3000/KM4000 BENCH 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.
A few typical applications include:
• Slotting angle iron
• Slotting tubes
• Notching spanner nuts
• Slotting gear pullers
3.13 KM3000 CROSS MILLING SETUP
An optional adapter is specially designed to
mill features perpendicular to the axis of
the shaft. The self-centering adapter mounts
easily on either side as well as either end of
the base of the key mill.
Do the following to set up for cross-milling
a shaft:
1. Mount the adapter to the base of the
key mill.
2. Set the key mill level on the shaft.
3. Secure the key mill to the shaft
evenly by alternating tightening one
bar clamp nut then the other.
3.14 KM3000/KM4000 TRAVERSE FEED
To feed horizontally, manually crank the key mill along the key way with the tra-
verse hand feed. One turn of the hand crank will feed the top slide 0.067" (1.69
mm).
Note that the KM3000 is capable of traverse and vertical feed. The cross-slide kit
included is for mounting, not machining.
The KM4000 is capable of traverse, vertical, and cross-slide feed.
3.15 KM3000/KM4000 VERTICAL 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" (0.025 mm) increments.
