Release the carriage and GENTLY bring the keys into contact with the stylus and cutter wheel. Position
the keys so the stylus and cutter wheel are nearer to the shoulder of the keys than the center of the blade.
Switch ON the key machine.
With the cutter spinning use your right hand to apply (momentarily) a gentle to moderate amount of
pressure to the carriage creating a very small cutter wheel mark in the right hand key blank. It is important
that the carriage DOES NOT move left or right by even the smallest amount.
Switch OFF the key machine and pull back and lock the carriage.
Remove the keys from the vises and reinstall the key with the very small cutter wheel mark in the left-hand
vise- be sure to leave about 1/32” gap between the bottom shoulder of the key blank and the left-edge of the
vise jaw.
Install the uncut key blank in the right-hand vise jaw-be sure to leave about 1/32” gap between the bottom
shoulder of the key blank and the left edge of the vise jaw. You do
not
use the machine’s built-in full
function key gauges for this procedure.
Carefully release the machine’s carriage and position the left-hand key with its cutter mark directly on the
machine’s stylus be sure the tip of the stylus is “seated” in the cutter mark of the key blank. You now have
a situation where the cutter wheel will make a similar mark on the uncut key blank by itself when you
switch ON the key machine.
Remove your hands from the key machine-do bot touch any of the machine’s controls. Switch ON the key
machine and then switch OFF the key machine-wait until the cutter wheel has completely stopped before
proceeding.
With the cutter wheel stopped after making a CENTER cut carefully release the cutter head lock and rotate
the cutter head to make a RIGHT cut. Relock the cutter head. Remove your hands from the key machine-
do not touch any of the machine’s controls. Switch ON the key machine and then switch OFF the key
machine- wait until the cutter wheel has completely stopped before proceeding.
With the cutter wheel stopped after making a RIGHT cut carefully release the cutter headlock and rotate the
cutter head to make a LEFT cut. Relock the cutter head. Remove your hands from the key machine-do not
touch any of the machine’s controls. Switch ON the key machine and then switch OFF the key machine –
wait until the cutter wheel has completely stopped before proceeding.
You have made three very small cutter wheel marks-CENTER, RIGHT and LEFT.
Pull back the carriage and remove the right-hand key that has the three small cutter wheel marks.
Inspect the three small cutter wheel marks with a large magnifier under a strong light source. The cuts
should be symmetrical. See figure 24 below. If the “pie” or “V” sections are not symmetrical (the same
size) then you will have to change the cutter wheel position and redo the procedure again until your results
match the illustration.
