2.2
Replacing Cutter Wheels
Cutter wheels eventually wear out and become dull. The life expectancy of a cutter wheel
is dependent on the quantity and types of keys you are cutting and the composition of your key
blanks.
HPC does not recommend sharpening cutter wheels. Each time a cutter is sharpened, a
small amount of material is removed and the diameter is slightly reduced. This reduction in diam-
eter will result in cuts shallower then the manufacturer’s specifications.
