Keyosk Dual Purpose Key Machine G888C
Copying keys is one of the usual tasks a locksmith will perform. People will usually go to a locksmith shop or a hardware store to get an extra set of house keys made. After watching a few YouTube videos on cutting keys, you notice that nobody explains what is happening in their video. I guess it is supposed to be self-explanatory. You load a blank key and the key to be copied into the machine and as the operator moves the slide along, the original key gets traced as the cutting wheel replicates the cuts into the blank key.
The video I’ve decided to show you today is of the Keyosk Dual Purpose Key Machine G888C. Mostly because it shows the cutting of a mortise/bit key, or skeleton key as I like to still call them. And if you’ve read my other posts, you know I love their design. This model of key cutting machine is recommended as an entry- level model and is made for cutting cylinder keys, mortice and bit keys that do not require sideward cuts, Abloy half circle keys, Abus, Ford Tibbe, and Chubb Ava Keys. If you wanted a machine that does sideward cuts on a mortise key, you would have to get a standalone mortise key cutting machine.
