14 degrees according to my Triax and Silca software.

I'm currently struggling with this one decoded and cut on the Futura.  Any thoughts?  I'm thinking the 1 cut dimple is too small?  The track doesn't look the same but I'm told that's normal??

There's two cards for these on Silca 3 height and 4 height (the + being the 4 height).

 

You can see on the deep cuts, which card its from. The Magnum's use a 3 height key and the Yale's use the 4 height key cards.

But even with the 4 height cards you only use the 3 height and not the 4.

Cuts from the head to the tip

 

A 11232

B 3112 (looks like you have a 2 first)

C 1121

 

I had to manually adjust my cutting cards in the Silca software on the A/B axis as the cuts where not deep enough even after calibrating the jaw/tracer and cutter.

Thanks Graham,

Looking at C I note that the machine has decoded the same as you "1121"  I notice that on the original key it looks as if there is an additional cut, but from memory I can ignore this, am I correct?

It is down to the way the Silca machine cuts the key, after each cut mine returns to the 1 position so the C cuts look incorrect.

 

So if you had a 2222 instead of a straight line it would be up and down in a zig zag motion.

Thanks Graham,  keys worked with modified cutting code.  I didn't need to make any manual adjustments this time.
