In this cases I apply a not too strong pressure on the cutter head while moving down to reach the working position. When it is too cold for the X6, then the cutter stops too high over the blank, so the cutter won't reach the blank's surface. If you stop the actual work, then you have to re-enter the biting, because it can't remember even the last one. So you have to set the cutter for 2.5 mm (and use the same 2 mm one) to get the good result.Īnother problem for me is the cutting memory: it records only the key type without biting. Needs a bit of experience when you use it, for example it cuts with the 2 mm cutter the HU100 too wide, it won't turn in the ignition. Nothing extraordenary, just a Miracle A5 clone. I think there's nearly nothing new what I could tell about it. Bought it to use in my car, and it is perfect for this purpose. The best 2nd automatic cutter at the moment. You can buy it from 5000 pounds + VAT, not cheap but worth of its price. If you want to use it in your car, then get an A5 or an X6. One additional info: It has a battery inside, and can be powered from a car, but it is not recommanded: powered by a 3 KW inverter the cutter rotation always slows down, and stops before cutting the key. Not only the key type as the X6 does, but everything. One other important thing is its internal memory, where you can find all the cuts what you have ever made (at least I couldn't reach the poit where it begins to delete the oldest ones). The machine can be updated via wifi or ethernet - please prefer the wired connection, because it freezes allways when you try to update it via wifi. If you put a plastic key in, then it will break the probe or the cutter in zero time.Īt the beginning you get a lots of accessories: 2 x 1 mm probe & 2 x 2 mm cutter, spare belts in all possible sizes, a HU66 pad, hex wrench, antistatic brush - the usual things. One special side of this is the fact, that you can only cut metal keys, because it works with electrical contact sensing. It slows the movement of the desk, avoiding cutter breaks. Has 3 speeds: Brass, Nickel-Silver and Steel. When you switch it on, then you lose 10-20 secs/cut, but the result will be perfect. Some users told me, that it needs to be calibrated too often - but they didn't used the key measuring function, because it isn't switched on every keytype. Has 5 different desks for the different tasks (cutting, engraving, dimple & normal keys etc.), and some additional tools for difficulter key shapes (HU66, SX9, Tibbe etc). This machine can do everything to avoid that: separated probe & cutter, color touch screen, easy to use pictures (for those who can't understand the language) etc. I have read, that the most relevant factor key copying/making is the boredom, because that's the factor what causes bad copies mostly. Miracle A9 PremiumOne of the bests for your shop - for moderate price. You can have it from $3000 + shiping + taxes. All kinds of adaptors are available between 10-50 bucks/pcs, has its ovn battery what can help when operated from 12V. Has practical carry points, can be operated from AC and cigarette lighter too. They didn't forgot the PDA, but you can use smartphone, tablet, laptop, anything via bluetooth for programing, or simply its keyboard. Today's A5 is an industrial standard, this is the basic model of the automated key cutters. Please do not compare this with todays A5, as I said it is a 10 yrs old model. When it was new, the keys what it made were usually working, when not you had to cut the same key again, and then it was ok. The main problem is, that this machine can use only one tool at the same time, so you have to change the cutter and the probe always. Was a good looking solution to sell the machine to yerks, but in the practice it is better when you program the A5 from the keyboard. In that time it came with a PDA, where you could do the work, and upload it to the machine. One of my friends bought it almost 10 years ago, and uses it till today. You have to get a CNC machine to do your job fast & easy, but if you make a bad choice, then it'll be an expensive one. This tools are ones of the most important part of our job: key blade making. I will introduce the automatic key cutting machines:
