Even though your 008A key machine is designed to make
key cutting efficient and accurate, operator skill is
important. The actual mechanics of placing keys within
the vise jaws is simple to learn, but there are some basics
that must be followed. A properly adjusted key machine,
used by someone who ignores good key cutting
techniques will NOT produce a good key. The way a
person clamps a key into the vise jaws is critical to the
accuracy of the duplicated key.
Remember - the real purpose of a duplicate key is to
operate the lock for which it was intended. If customers
return keys, you should reexamine your cutting
techniques and adjustment of the machine.
Here are some important operating tips:
1. Vise jaws - clean them regularly so that no metal chips
lie under the keys. It is essential that both keys lie flat
across the entire width of each vise jaw. Neither key
should be tilted.
2. Do NOT use pliers or other tools to tighten the vise
jaws. Firm hand pressure is sufficient.
3. Keep the carriage shaft free of metal chips. A thin film
of oil can be applied to it. The carriage should be free
to move without binding.

Proper key cutting techniques

4. NEVER touch the shoulder of a key to the side of the
cutter guide. This will cause the shoulder of the key
blank to touch the side of the cutting wheel. When this
happens, some of the metal will be cut away from the
shoulder of the key blank. If the resulting duplicated
key is duplicated two, three, four times over, an error
will accumulate and cause a non-operating key. Do
not grind away the shoulder.
5. Don't run the cutter into the vise jaw; this will dull the
cutter, and reduce cutter efficiency.
6. Keep the cutter clean. Don't let any foreign objects or
instruments blunt it. This cutter is a precise cutting
tool and should be handled with care.
7. Lubrication of moving parts is important. The carriage
spindle should be lubricated with a thin film of oil,
removing excess with a clean dry cloth. The
lubrication procedures should be performed every 2-3
weeks depending upon machine usage. (5-7 drops of
a lightweight machine oil such as "3-in-1" or
equivalent is sufficient.)
