kobblers Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I tried to cut an MLM key yesterday but the cuts were way too low for any of the jaws on my machine. I couldn't hold it in on its edge as there was hardly anything to hold. Any ideas, you bunch of geniuses? Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 We have the Keyline Quattro and this is the first time ever that I#'ve had cuts that were too deep for the jaws. Any advice on how to hold them in would be appreciated. Kind regards. Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x minit uk Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 In the past when I’ve had keys do this I prop them up a bit with a paper clip straightened out . kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Have you tried just clamping the thinnest part of the blade in the jaw and cut very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while doing that, put your thumb on the head of the new blank to take away extra vibration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
