Auto Key Wizard Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Is it going to be for bench or mobile work, General or Auto keys? Does it need to be Silca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 There’s a Triax for sale on a Facebook locksmith selling page. Be careful though they are no longer supported by Silca so if they don’t have any spares left it’s worthless if it breaks. The Futura is ok as a starter machine but not designed to be heavy duty. If you only intend to do small quantity it is ideal but very slow. If you can buy a Triax Pro big investment but a class leafing matching with nothing else close on the market.

Auto Key Wizard Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 For a Silca machine one of the F series maybe the way forward, (F100, 400 or 600) https://www.aldridgesecurity.co.uk/silca-3905-silca-unocode-f100-electronic-key-machine.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDTL Posted January 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) What about the XHorse machines any good ?? Edited January 28, 2023 by CDTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 There is a reason why a F series is over £25,000 more than a Xhorse Conder Mini Plus II I own a Mini Plus II and it is excellent for the £2 grand I paid, but for domestic cylinder work it'll be a struggle.
