POWER OF ATTORNEY

I, Ronald Port, appoint Michelle R. Keating, Jackie D.
Myers and Deborah L. Saville, signing singly, attorney-in-
fact to:

(1)	Execute on my behalf and in my capacity as an
officer of Kennametal Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
(the Company), Forms 3, 4 and 5 (the Form or Forms) in
accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the Act) and the rules thereunder; and

(2)	Perform any and all acts on my behalf which may
be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any Form
and timely file such Form with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange
or similar authority; and

(3)	Take any other action in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,
may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally
required by me, it being understood that the documents
executed by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to
this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact
may approve in his or her discretion.

I grant to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any act necessary or proper to
be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as I
might or could do if personally present. I ratify and
confirm all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do
by the rights and powers granted by this Power of
Attorney. Each attorney-in-fact shall have full power of
substitution or revocation.

I acknowledge that the attorneys-in-fact, in serving in
such capacity at my request, are not assuming, nor is the
Company assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and
effect until I am no longer required to file the Forms
with respect to my holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by the Company, unless I earlier revoke
it in a signed writing delivered to the Office of the
Secretary of the Company for distribution to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power
of Attorney to be executed as of this 16th day of January,
2018.
