Explaining the software: Buttons and Menus
Half Cut
The button “Half Cut” refers to cutting 1/2 depths when using Determinators. When half
cut mode is entered, 1=1-1/2 (one and a half) and 3=3-1/2 (three and a half) etc. You must
still follow the procedures to choose the correct key blank type first.
When using the half cuts you must first click on the “Half Cut” button and the button will
blink red, this assures you that you are in half cut mode. Now you can enter your depths
into the spaces and click “Enter” and then “Start”.
To exit half cut mode, click the “Half Cut” button and the
red blinking will stop. Change the spaces to the correct
numbers and click “Enter”.
If you press “Start” without clicking “Enter”, half cut
mode will not be disabled.
