Key Gauges
We are often asked why
we didnt make our key gauges flip down automatically when the carriage is
released. Its a good question and deserves answering. We chose full-function key gauges instead.
Were committed to incorporate unique and useful features into our products wherever we can. We felt
that if we could incorporate a built-in key gauging system that worked for almost all the key gauging
requirements you would benefit more from this than having ordinary top shoulder key gauges that
automatically flip-away when the carriage is released. Think about it three key gauging possibilities
that dont flip away automatically verses only one key gauging possibility that does flip away.
Why Such a Big Cutter
The bigger the cutter the less noticeable the radius is in the pin seat area of the duplicated key.
Why Did We Change to an Unusual 4-way Vise Jaw Design
We built these vise jaws in a way that resembles a machine shop milling machine vise. And we did it
with Cartridges instead of individual pieces. No milling machine vises uses a pivoting action jaw - parts
would be flying out all the time! With a pivoting action jaw you only have one theoretical size thickness
that will clamp properly.
We wanted the movable vise jaw attached to a very large diameter, very long piston to keep the jaws
from tipping. We wanted a vise jaw design that would clamp straight all the time . . . period. The only
place with enough room to do it was below the vise jaws and in the carriage.
Why Didnt We Use Gears to Drive the Carriage Left and Right
Gears are pumps on a key machine they pump dirt and key cuttings. Gears get crunchy - our linkages
do not!
Why Arent the Vise Jaws Hardened
Simple - miss-adjust your key machine and waste the cutter. Our vise jaws are made from machineable
steel so you wont ruin your cutter if you make a mistake. The vise jaws last a long time.
Why Not Use a Less Expensive Motor and Save Money
Our stick-shift machine is the fastest machine you can own - you need a lot of power to keep that
big cutter going when you wail through a key. Low cost motors either wont have the power you will
need or they wont work efficiently on a Redi-Line® power generator in your service truck or van.
Your machine is equipped with the most powerful motor you can get and it works well on a Redi-Line®
generator.
Why is the Machine As Big As It Is, You Could Make is Smaller
The machine is built big, and strong, and rigid. It is built to support the size of the Human Body It
Is Built To Last.
