Features
Climax's PM Series 3-axis portable milling machines
provide precise and versatile on-the-job milling
capabilities. They are designed to be attached either
to the work piece or to a fabricated frame beside it.
Downtime savings will pay for the machine in a
short time.
• All gears and drives are permanently lubricated
and sealed to allow operation in any position.
• Precision machined dovetail ways and adjustable
gibs provide smooth accurate travel.
Longitudinal travel (bed):
• 20" (508 mm) for PM2000
• 49" (1244.6 mm) for PM3000
• 78" (1981 mm) for PM4000.
A 1 hp electric
motor is standard
equipment; a
pneumatic power
option is available
for flammable
vapor areas.
Cross travel (top slide):
• 8-inch (203 mm)
• Hand-fed with a crank or power-fed with your
3/8 inch drill.
A portable variable speed drill
motor may be
used as a power
cross feed drive
by applying it to
the external stud
provided.
Vertical travel (spindle):
• 3" (76 mm) for all models, controlled by hand
crank.
• The vertical adjusting screw is calibrated for
accurate adjustments and has a locking nut for
zeroing.
Power feed on the
longitudinal axis
provides an infinitely variable feed
rate from 0 to 20
IPM with pushbutton rapid
traverse.
• Push-button rapid traverse saves time between
cuts.
• Adjustable feed stops on the slide are standard.
• Forward, neutral and reverse modes are controlled
by a shift lever. A hand wheel is provided for fine
adjustments.
• Power is delivered by a triple gear reduction
power head with in-line electronic speed control
providing spindle speeds from 280 to 525 rpm.
• Spindle accepts standard 3/4" Weldon-type shank
cutting tools. A 20 mm spindle is available for
metric applications.
The PM-B Series Portable Mill
This 2-axis machine has a blank tool post slide
instead of the top slide assembly, so it
can be modified
to suit the job
site needs.
Longitudinal
travel is the
same as for
the PM series
machines.
Tool post slide travel
is 6.4" (162.5 mm).

A Wide Variety
of Applications
The Climax PM Series are especially
useful for milling large cumbersome
parts. Anyone familiar with basic
machining practices will find these
portable mills simple to operate. Many
customers use the PM Series machines when welding up and remachining worn parts on production
machinery such as stamping presses.
Long motor mount slots are easily
machined, often without dismantling
since the mill can be mounted right on
the part. Aluminum smelter plants have
used a PM2000 with a fly
cutter to quickly face off the
pitted surface of 20-foot
beams used as bus bars.

A PM2000 with pneumatic motor, shown here with fly
cutters, was used to reface 20 foot bus bars in an aluminum
plant.

Setup and Operation
The PM Series is designed to meet the
requirements of a variety of applications and can
be mounted in any position the job calls for - even
upside down. Electronic speed control provides
reduced spindle speeds for harder materials. Gear
box, spindle, quill, and vertical adjusting screw
assembly may be removed as a unit to sharpen or
replace the end mill.
Setup
Setup of the portable mill consists of positioning it
where you want it in relation to the work piece and
clamping or bolting it securely in place. Attach the
base directly to the work piece using the bolt-down
bosses provided or position it next to the work on a
fabricated frame. Mounting rigidity is very
important. The best way to mount the machine is to
weld attachment points right on the work piece.
This eliminates vibration, flexing and other sources
of chatter. If you are using an overhead frame for
mounting the machine upside down, be sure the
frame is rigid enough to handle the weight and side
torque forces of milling operations.
Look to Climax
Climax has over 7,000 portable metal-cutting
machines in service worldwide. Our years of
experience mean we probably have a machine
to solve your maintenance problem; if not, we
can modify an existing machine or design one to
fit your application. Our machines are designed
to get the job done for you accurately and save
you downtime in the process. Give us a call
today... we will be happy to talk with you about
your application.
Operation
Operation of a PM Series mill is similar to any 3axis milling machine. Once the machine is rigidly
mounted, insert the proper cutter in the spindle,
and position for the cut. A rapid travel button allows
for faster milling head positioning. Feed control
varies with the power option. It is possible to
operate both the X and Y-axis feeds at the same
time. After positioning, the gibs should be adjusted
to provide a smooth, even cut. The hand crank
may be used for travel in all three axes.
