Speedex Key Cutting Machine
The Speedex Key Cutting Machine is a machine for duplicating keys. It is located in the Metal Shop. The Model 9160MC is a manual duplicator with 4-way jaws that hold a large variety of different key blanks, including double-sided automotive keys. The carriage range accommodates large-bow keys. (The reversible tracer would allow cutting flat steel keys with the optional slotting cutter kit No. CW-16KIT.) It has bronze bearings, is mounted on a sturdy base for added stability, and comes with the HPC Softie de-burring brush.
