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.
