completelocks Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hi guys. I have a Tibbe machine that came as part of the shop. Till now i have cut them on my Dual RST with the little adapter/attachment that I'm sure some of you are familiar with. bit tricky to start with, but a breeze once you get the hang of the angles and stuff. This tibbe machine has just siad "try me, go on, you know you want to" so i gave in and got some keys out, solid plastic head ones obviously. It's really straight forward, but i am wondering about the cutting wheel, what thickness should it be? The one in it is 2.4mm. When I cut a key that has deep, shallow, deep.. ie 4-1-4 somewhere on the key, the middle cut (1) is only 1.3mm When I cut them on the van,with a much thinner cutting wheel, I can make them all the same width by eye (not to 0.1mm before you ask lol) but you get what I am on about. Is it the machine set up? Is it the blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 The cutter in my Jakey Lynx is 2.5mm Don't have any problems with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
completelocks Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 hmmmm... That spoils my wide blade theory. I thought it was, as the are mine is cutting, all 6 together, is 12mm, and 6 only goes into 12 as a whole 2. So that means that the extra 0.4 or 0.5 or whatever is obviously gonna overlap and take some off the higher cuts that are next to lower ones. The can of worms is now open maths fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
