We also sell genuine Yale blanks too, we have the best results with them. They are also cheaper than the Silca and JMa blanks too! work that out?! https://www.independentkeys.co.uk/Yale+Superior/0_CAAA010_CAAA003/PRAC217.htm but they hammer the track cutter on my Silca Matrix SX, I use the JMA blanks and the cutters last a lot longer!!

Chris @ IKS Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just now, Michael said: but they hammer the track cutter on my Silca Matrix SX, I use the JMA blanks and the cutters last a lot longer!! They are definitely harder, but we cut a fair amount to code for our trade customers and the success rate with the genuine blanks is much higher than any copies. I personally would rather send out a product that I was confident was going to work even if it costs me slightly more in cutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 But I'm talking about cutting approximately 5 keys and there is a significant blunting of the cutter! That's not sustainable. I don't cut many but I've not had any back yet, including a window fitter that had 10 cut for a door in London that he had changed, all cut on JMA blanks, all worked and cutter felt as good on the last as it did on the first.

grahamparker Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I stopped using the Genuine Yale as even my triax suffers when cutting them. I buy Silca blanks in boxes of 25 to get a better price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t it do the same pattern? It is the way the software has been written that after every cut the machine returns to the 1 position before making the next cut. I never got a valid reason for this it is just the way they do it at Silca, keys still work fine for me so i don't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simes Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi, It's Superior. It would be great to see if your Futura does a better job than mine if you could send one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
