• The range of portable machine tools available for sale or hire from the on-site machining specialist Sibex (Constructions) Ltd has been augmented by the Key Mill.
Operations using this unit can be carried out without dismantling, thus reducing down-times and maintenance costs. The wide range of possible applications includes work on tapered shafts, gear motors, heavy equipment and propeller shafts. Furthermore, the Keymill can be held in a vice for slotting spanner nuts and making gear pullers.
The Key Mill can be clamped anywhere along the shaft and cuts up to a 159mm (6t/iin) keyway in less than four minutes. It requires only 38mm (11/2in) of clamping space on the shaft, is selfaligning, and is rugged enough to cut accurate keyways faster than many stationary milling
machines. An electronic speed facility allows close control when cutting harder metals,
The Sibex Key Mill is supplied complete with carrying case and a set of end mills, and has a total weight of only 23kg (511b).
