locky1 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have just joined so hi everybody I have just started key cutting and as in other threads on this forum I notice how quick the blades dull. Has anyone ever heard of or used any cutting oils of any kind. I know you have just most probably pictured you standing in front of the machine with a face full of oil . Well I was thinking of very small amounts just to help the cutting with its job. What do you guys think? I suppose I should ask this in another thread but is there a massive cost difference involved between using brass & aluminum blanks to save the cutter compared to steel blanks and going through more cutters. 1000 brass/ alum keys (££££) = 1 cutter 1000 steel keys (££) = 2 cutters I hope I have worded this question right Cheers for any advice people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Friend Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Ali blanks are good - lots of work for Locksmiths getting the broken bits out of locks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
