Kent Industrial USA, Inc. KTM-3VSF VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The Kent Industrial USA KTM-3VSF is a vertical machining center featuring a manual knee mill design ideal for prototype, tool room, and R&D applications. Its worktable measures 49" long by 9" wide (optional 42" x 9") and supports a maximum workpiece weight of 750 lbs, making it suitable for diverse machining tasks involving moderate-sized workpieces. The machine has a single vertical spindle with an R-8 taper (optional #30 taper) and operates at speeds up to 4,500 RPM powered by a 3 HP motor. It offers three axes of travel with 35" longitudinal (X-axis), 12" cross (Y-axis), and 15" vertical (Z-axis) feed capacities. The tool carrier is manual with a single tool capacity and no automated pallet changer option. The design supports manual knee mill versatility allowing operations such as angled milling, drilling, and cutting. The spindle motor uses an AC frequency drive for variable control ranging from 60 to 4,500 RPM, enabling precision and adaptability in machining. The knee mill structure features hardened and ground surfaces on the table and slide ways for durability and accuracy. The machine weighs approximately 2,500 lbs and is typically used where CNC flexibility is not mandatory or can be optionally added via CNC retrofit kits. Its compact size and robust construction make it suitable for small shop floors requiring reliable manual vertical milling capabilities with moderate spindle speed and power.
