Dimple Keys Help?

[Simes]

I have just started doing dimple keys. Well I say just started! I have the machine to do them but struggling a bit, hoping someone can help me?

 

Here is a picture of a key I need to do:

 

So do I use the same cutter for all the cuts on this key? I actually have two machine that do dimples. SKS Hurricane and An_San Panther SX. The later comes with just on cutter for dimples and for the Hurricane I have 95 degree, 105 degree & 120 degree?? So I'm totally confused

 

Any help would be appreciated.

same cutter for all the cuts mate, i use the 105 degree cutter and have cut kaba gemini, multilock and 1 or 2 other types with it on an hd punto and the only issues i have had was with faulty blanks in 2 years of doing them and have cut a couple of hundred now as i am the only person in a 15 mile radius who cuts them from the customer key, including the local multiple

Thanks Mate. I'll have another look tomorrow.

Is it possible to try these blanks in the lock before cutting or do they need to be cut before they will enter the key way? Sorry if it's a stupid question!

As long as they have the sloped front edges at the tip then they are ok to fit in the lock before cutting.

Thanks for that
