ironplanet uk900 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I had a customer want four of these yesterday, 7 gauge and looks like securefast with a shorter shank, which makes no difference I know. but they didn't work, wouldn't go in. Ive cut em off a 7 gauge blank this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 wouldn't go in the bit must be a tad thicker as securefast are gauge 7. will keep an eye out for them though. cheers, rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Check the weld on the bit ain't raised, I've seen this problem on Securefast & some blank manufactures 8 gauge Gibbons mortice also I like to stock RST for these mortice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Sometimes the bit isn't welded on the shaft centraly, or as tel says the weld needs grinding off a bit. I just wondered wether it was a securefast but modified a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x minit uk Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ive had a few of those in, from the local tech college, I used a securefast but lucky for me the guy always brings the lock in which means I can try them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Onest Andy Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Just started to see a few of those myself.. I've been using the Securefast blank. No problems as yet. I did recently have a few problems with the L102 Legge blank that involved the need to clean up the weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
