rapidlocks Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 then out comes the pick and decoder and a minute or 2 later you have the correct cutting code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakes2 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Great, thanks very much to everyone for your expert help and advice, im at the bottom of the learning curve at the moment and using old manual machines, Jakey Tibe, Jakey Colt and Curtis 2000, would be great if anyone knows how to calibrate the Jakey tibbe machine as it seems slightly out, or if there is a manual available for the Jakey Tibbe it would help.

ponsaloti Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Allways, allways there will be a number 4. Identify that and work backwards taking into account anything that looks like a number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakes2 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Thanks for the info, just an update, i just cut a key to 234422 as suggested, the key managed to lock the car but not open it, i tried it in the ignition lock and it got stuck, i had hard time trying to get it out, i have a feeling the machine needs setting up.

grahamparker Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 It is cutting way to deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakes2 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 ok thanks i need figure out how to set it up, time to get the vernier calipers out, by the way Graham you are bang on with your comment, it is much deeper than the original key, and it left a deep ridge on the end of the key as you can see in the picture.

Tibbe keys that lock , but will not open are and indication that the bitting is not correct. You can even lock them with a blank key. Keys stuck in the ignition are caused by the dust cover flap catching on a ridge in your key. Use a pick or a wire to push the dust cover away to get your key out.

Could it be that you started cutting 1 position too far ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakes2 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 To be honest im not really sure as this is my first attempt, this is what i did 1. set the cut lever to position 2 for the first cut 2. set the cut position lever to A and then did the other cuts, but as Grayham said it is cutting too deep and the cutting wheel is slightly out of true, im trying to find a new cutter for it (Jakey F320 M42) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Blade not fully inserted into the carriage, some need a good push. I had a Transit a couple of weeks back that would open with any key but only lock with the correct one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cutting a little deep too but I've seen worse keys still work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
