Making double sided flat keys with Defu 386A verticle key machine - ROD-BENDERS - 14-11-2017

Hi CT friends, this is a very cheap machine, but does cut most keys well with clamp addons for tibbe etc.

DOES NOT DO "all keys lost"


Ok for doing double sided flat keys buy a universal key clamp and cut it up as in picture 1. (universal clamp wont do these keys)

drill 2.5 mm holes for clamp screws and use 3mm tap to run threads picture 2.

cut some shims from the supplied steel shims picture 3.

Pictures 4 and 5 perfect working key

brilliant machine for the money thumbsup

Have done similar with the universal clamps - I ordered three - one to use for normal laser and one for back up and one to play with
Ordered another to do what the OP has done
Good post and pics.

Excellent
