Correct depth calibration is more critical than space calibration, but the more exact they both
are, the better the resulting keys will work. Remember that the allowable range for calibration is from
+0.127 inches to-0.127 inches. The machine is factory set for 0 calibration error so you must be
careful not to enter a depth value that would allow the vise to contact the cutter. Double check your
calibration numbers before entering them and if possible make small changes until you are familiar
with this operation. All calibrations are done using the insert as the stop. When this has been
completed, raise the reference arm up against the shoulder of the key to ensure that it has not been
moved or bent out of position. The reference arm should make light contact with the blank shoulder,
if not, loosen the two 5/32 allen head machine screws holding the reference block to the vice block
and move the reference arm against the key shoulder and retighten the screws.

SETTING TEMPORARY DEPTH CORRECTION
1.
The correction function affects the depth of all cuts. A negative correction factor makes cuts
deeper while a positive correction factor makes cuts shallower. The range is from -.009 to +.009
inches in .001 inch steps. Press
then a number from
through
. Use the
key
to indicate a negative value. Press
to correct your entry and press
to set the correction.
A special note regarding the correction function. If the resulting depth is out of the
absolute limits of 0.110 to 0.465 inches, that cut will not be made.
CHANGING FLAT NUMBER
2.
The flat number is used to select the width of the bottom of a cut. There are 10 possible flats to
choose from and they are all user definable. The flats listed in the table on page 3 have been preset
at the factory. Refer to setting custom flat widths in the Custom Configuration section for more details.
