Cutting Era (Silca ER2)

[lock&quay]

I was doing a load of these for the ERA B/S Rim lock & noticed that they were turning clock wise but not anti clockwise , It turned out that I had to also run over the shoulder as well it hardly took anything off but made the difference , I'm also having to hold more & more Silca key blanks in one of the flutings as there is less metal below the lowest fluting , I guess to save on material. .

The ER2 needs its shoulder shortening to get in under the anti drill plate on the face of the cylinder
