New key to code machine

[davisc02]

Hi,

 

I am looking to purchase a new key cutting machine for windows furniture keys etc but do not have a massive budget. I have seen the automatic HPC Codemax 1200 from SKS (£3663) which can hook up to Instacode. Does anyone have any experience using one of these or a recommend something similar and what makes this so much cheaper than say a Silca Unocode 399?

 

Thanks in advance

you get what you pay for silca are expensive but the best machines on the market buy a good one once and you will never replace it for those keys i use a 399 evo but it is expensive the 199 has been lanched a cheeper alternative have a look at that

Now that's a fantastic deal.

 

I would have bought it as a spare for that sort of money.

Thanks, got it off Gumtree. Thought it was a scam until I went into his cabin at the back of his house and he had the whole setup, keyboards machines etc, he's had enough after 27 years and only used it for a few master keys, it looks brand new.

 

I was after the automatic key feeder that you can get for it as we cut lots of the same key over and over again but I had a quote of £2700
