dakes2 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have a Jakey Lynx Tibbe machine that has been working great up until now, i think the calibration has gone out on the machine as its not cutting like it did before, if you take a look at the pictures you will see that one key has a consistent spine running down the centre of the the key, while the other key cut on my machine does not, any help or advice on this please.

grahamparker Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Don't put the cut key in any ignition as you will find it won't come out again without a lot of effort unless you have some thin shims. Looks like it is cutting to deep to me. EST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 That’s cutting far too deep. adjust the machine so when it’s set to a 1 cut it only just touches the blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 A 1 cut should not touch the blade at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaloti Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 What make are the blanks Some of the usual suppliers have sold some real shite in the past. Thankfully most are all good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakes2 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thanks very much for all your replies, its really appreciated, i did set it up so that the blade was only jst barely touching the key on a number 1 cut I bought the key blanks from Honrow a Chinese key supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakes2 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 i was also wondering if the angles of the cuts could be out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 The angles are factory set, no adjustment required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaloti Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'd guess its down to the blank. I cant see how the machine can drift off and cut deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
