My dad used to have one of these about 15 - 20 years ago, if no-one gives you an answer i'll ask him 2moro

The Jakey Mk2 has an attachment fitted to the carriage just below and to the right of the right clamp. TBH i wouln't worry about it I don't use mine that often. If you've picked both those machines up for £50 you've done OK

I suggest you get all the latest key catalogues you can, Charles Birch key catalogue is a pretty good up to date one with all the cross references. Also try and get hold of the Silca Electronic Key Catalogue http://www.nwkeys.co.uk/Portal.aspx?pag ... &prod=7859. You really should'nt need to be doing that much filing. I rarely cut bullet wards.

never had a problem in 20 years doing it,doubt i will have a problem in the next 20 either

Hand filing is the best way to control width and depth of cut by using the correct type

of file.

 

Being able to file a key is a very important part of a locksmiths armoury from bullits to bridge

keys and with practice near perfect results can be obtained in very little time.

Surely the amount of bullet warded keys must be very small.

Even though I had a machine that would cut them I always did it by hand - time taken to set it up and cut - too expensive

Use a key saw and file - 1 min. as long as its in the same location should work -

 

Or a big boliky angle grinder - now that would do the job
