The distance from the top of the jaw to the key ledge for the Jet HS2000 key machine is approximately. Unlike a cylindrical key, the side mill keys are placed within the jaws, making it very easy to accidentally cut the jaw. Tilting is required to duplicate high security keys such as the Sargent Keso.Ĭutting side mill keys is somewhat of an art form combined with practical applications. The pitch angle indicator is graduated into five -degree increments. The patented synchronized tilting vise allows the jaws to tilt at up to a 45-degree angle in either direction. The Cross Plate Intelligent Control Knob locks the cutter and provides spring tension in order to keep the tracer against the edge of the pattern key’s cut area when duplicating side mill keys. When the cross plate lock knob is tightened, only forward and backward movement is possible when duplicating keys. The Cross Plate Lock eliminates sideward movement in order to more easily duplicate dimple keys having aligned cuts. The HS2000 jaws have a number of special features that provide ease of operation and the ability to duplicate non-standard keys. Note: The tracer pin can be locked at any depth position when required by tightening the Tracer Spring Set Knob for duplicating side mill keys. This spring permits the tracer pin to remain in the proper position when duplicating a dimple key by locating the dimple cut before making the cut into the blade. Note: Consult the dimple key manufacturers’ specifications before duplicating any keys.Ī patented feature of the HS2000 key duplicating machine is the spring loaded tracer pin. Double-ended cutters are designed for duplicating dimple keys. The 2.5mm x 88 degree angled tip tracer pin is used with the three angled cutters: the 3mm diameter x 90-degree cutter, the 95-degree x 100-degree double ended cutter and the 90-degree by 105-degree double-ended cutter. The 2.5mm flat end tracer pin is used in conjunction with the 2.5mm cutter for most two- and four-track internal and external automotive keys. The tracer pins and cutters are manufactured of High Speed Steel (HSS), which is designed to withstand higher temperatures without loosing its hardness. Two tracer pins and four cutters are included with the HS2000 key machine. The HS2000 has the control lever on the left side and the depth lever on the right side. To this end, Jet Hardware has introduced the model HS2000 “high security” key machine for duplicating side mill and dimple style keys. Just about every car manufacturer is introducing vehicles equipped with side mill lock mechanisms.
