First, raise the B-18 shoulder gauge up against the key vises. Now insert both adjustment keys in the vises
and line up the front shoulder of both keys as they touch the faces of the shouldering gauge.... tighten both
keys in the vises and lower the shouldering gauge. Raise the carriage so the "V" in the adjustment key in the
LEFT hand vise contacts the key cutter as shown at D-2, Figure D. Notice where the guide contacts the adjust-
ment key in the RIGHT hand vise. It may be off to one side or another as shown at D-3. As this figure shows,
it would be necessary to move the key vise to the RIGHT to make it line up, or move the guide to the LEFT.
Since the key vise cannot be moved, it will be necessary to move the guide to the left until the point is in the
bottom of the "V" of the adjustment key.
To move the guide to the left, first loosen the lateral adjustment screw shown at point B-14. On the right side is
another adjustment screw. Tighten the screw on the right to move the guide to the LEFT. If you need to move
the guide to the RIGHT, you will need to loosen the right screw and tighten the left screw. Make small adjust-
ments, always loosening one side and tightening the other. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Continue doing this
until you have the point of the guide directly in line with the bottom of the "V" of the adjustment key. Don't
worry if the guide
doesn't touch the
bottom of the "V",
as you will make this
adjustment in the next
step. Once, the guide
is centered in the
adjustment key blank
groove, tighten both
left and right screws
evenly.

The next step is to adjust the guide BARREL
until it touches the edge of the adjust-
ment key, while at the same time, the
cutter touches the edge of the adjust-
ment key in the left hand vise. First,
set the micrometer to 0 degree. See
Figure E. There are two basic parts
to your micrometer: the CYLINDER,
as shown at E-1, and the BARREL,
as shown at E-2. There is a 0 degree
setting on the cylinder at E-1 and a
Figure E
0 degree setting on the barrel at E-2.

Turn the barrel until you line up the
CyliNDEr
two 0 degree settings as shown.
