CUTTING CROSS KEYS

•
"Side 1" of the clamp must be used to cut this type of key (Fig.18).
•
Insert both wedges (X) in the vertical slots (E) of the clamps. Insert them so that the
wedge openings face towards the mill or probe.
(NB: Choose the pairs of wedges in accordance with the length of the key that needs to
be cut.)
•
Insert the original key in the clamp until the tip rests against the Wedge (X). In this
position, grab the key by turning the Clamp Lever (B). Repeat the process for the
keyblank.
•
Release the carriage and start cutting.
(NB: This key has three bitted sides. As a result, the same operation must be repeated
another two times for the other two bits).
