8.2.1 Using the accessories

The accessories provided with the DUO to assist key-cutting are:

•pins

•bars

Using the pins

The pins must be inserted between the bottom of the jaw and the back of the key for keys with narrow stems, and their purpose is to ensure that the key protrudes sufficiently to be cut properly (fig. 33-B, fig. 33-C). For keys with narrow, thin stems, two pins must be used (fig. 33-B) the second one to give a secure grip on the key. If the key thickness is too fine to guarantee a good grip in the clamps, a pin must be used (fig. 33-A).

ATTENTION:

the pins provided have two different diameters with the same diameters for locking both the original and the key blank

: 1,20 mm and 1,70 mm;

It is essential to use pins

bar

sing the bars

The bars provided are used for cutting pin keys and as a tip rest for locking keys with no stop (fig. 34).

Cutting cruciform keys using bars

The cruciform keys (90°) can be cut with the DUO clamps and the aid of the bars.

Positioning cruciform keys:

1) Leave the gauges in the idle position.

2) Insert the bars with neck into the slot in the clamps.

3) Butt the key stop against the bars.

4) Secure the keys in the clamps.

5) Remove the bars from the clamp grooves to prevent it being touched by the tracer point or cutting tool.

6) Cut the first side.

7) Repeat the operation, turning the keys in the same direction for the other positions.

Fig. 34

Tip stop with a bar

The bars can be used with keys which have no stop (fig. 35); proceed as follows:

1) Leave the gauges in the idle position;

2) Insert the bars into the slot in the clamps;

3) Rest the tip of the key against the bar;

4) Secure the key and remove the bar.
