Why Code Machines are Important?
Code machines are one of the fewest essential
tools a locksmith can use. Code Machines allow a
locksmith to make a working key with the general
cut shape equal to an original factory-cut key.
Key cutting machines are most important for a
professional locksmith.

Key Cutting Tips
Using the correct cutter blade is the most
crucial process. For locks using cut-to-cut
dimensions which are wider than 0.140,
manufacturers have a deep cutting blade with a
100-degree cutting angle and 0.045 flat.

Key Cutting Tips
Generally every cutter has a V shape. When a
very deep V cut is made side by side to a very
shallow cut, the cutter may remove too much
material and the side by side shallow cut cannot
be made.
Each lock has set a maximum adjacent cut factor
(MAC). If a key code series already taken into
MAC account, eliminate cuts which violate the MAC
rule.
