I have also set my Z Axis cut at -10 in the Silca SKP software as they where sometimes a little tight in turning in the cylinder not sure again if you have that freedom with the Futura. Thanks Graham, that worked :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So good that i would sell the Futura which has cut a hand full of keys... Just timed cutting one of these and it took ten minute. I had the code. One thing I've noticed though is that it often goes to sleep when you turn the clamps to side B and you have to start again with side a. Anyone else noticed this?

Chris @ IKS Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I think it seems a very long time when you first start using a Futura because of the amount of times you stop and turn the key or change the clamps. Once you get familiar with the machine and the order of the cuts etc it becomes much quicker. We cut a fair few Yale Superiors on ours as we use it to cut to code for trade customers and we have it down to 7-8 minutes a key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simes Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 So... Another Yale Superior in today to cut on the Futura. Here is the existing key, the code the Futura got and the resulting key. Not convinced myself. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 It’s the 4+3 card you needed a=3112 b=223 c=1323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, given that the code that has come back puts the extra cuts as a No Cut and the spacings and depths on each card is the same that shouldn't actually make a difference in this case should it? If my assumption is correct then we are saying that the Futura has decoded axis a wrong in giving a 0 cut which should actually be a 1 cut?

Count Muppet Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I suppose that’s right. It’s definately saying no cut instead of 1 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 My Triax will not decode 0 or 1 cuts on certain keys it usually means the jaws/tracer need recalibrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
