stevecoco Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Looking to purchase a laser & Dimple Key Machine, any recommendations on models to look at. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Seems to be a lot of love for the mustang. I get on well with it but I still prefer the keyline punto because it’s easier to get your hands in it. stevecoco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecoco Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Taken the plunge and bought a RST Mustang. Instructions are woeful. Anyone know of any instructional (idiots guide) manuals or you tube videos to watch. In the process in getting some keys to practice on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 No much available TBH. What you are struggling with ? setting up the machine? which cutter/tracer/Clamps to use ? or how to cut each particular key on it or .. maybe all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Well all of it really,the up down lever is really stiff and what does the corresponding lever opposite do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Turn the top of the handle (clock wise ) it will loose , anti clockwise it it will lock machine movement up and down , this help you to lock the machine while cutting laser keys . The opposite is only to help you move the machine around , no any other use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The up and down arm is threaded so you can lock it in a specific cutting position. Screw it counter clockwise and it will be a lot smoother. stevecoco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at Vauxhall Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Hate to over simplify it. I found the mustang fairly daunting when I got it. Not a huge demand for dimple keys around here but glad I bought it. I've just been using the 95° for everything so far. ( obviously not fir something like a kaba,or a double dimple, but not done one of those yet). Unless I get information otherwise, that what I intend to do going forward. Cut about a dozen keys so far, with no returns so far. Mike. Edited June 3, 2021 by cowers lane 583 Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 If you pick the same diameter guide and cutter, cut what ever you want as long as the guide goes in the slot. send me your number and ill do a couple of videos for you and whatsapp them to you. carry on! david cawthray, Mike at Vauxhall and Count Muppet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
