Recommended Posts

Is there a list out there somewhere of which cutters & tracers to use for which dimple & cavity blanks?

looking to get a mustang, & looks like ultion & yale superior are gonna be our most popular blanks by what comes through the door now, so wanna make sure got the right bits.

Thanks muchly :-)

I use the normal dimple cutter and tracers on the ultion keys and on the Yale superior but with Yale I have the 1.5mm tracer and it 1.5mm cutter. And I cut the Yale at 14.5 degree angle some cuts at 13 or even 15.

 

with cavities you get a tracer if it runs through the original key smoothly the just get the correct size cutter for that tracer that you just run through the original key and off you go.

hope it helps.
