KUKAI key cutting machines – Alpha Pro, Beta and Beta Pro, both featuring Blade Modification function

 

Let me provide you with the details of this function:

1.1. Support to create width/thickness/left groove/right groove on S1 Jaw

Before creating the blade, please do calibration (S1, S8 jaw, no need to calibrate S9 jaw) firstly to avoid damaging jaw or waste key blanks.

Besides, it is recommended that you prepare a caliper to measure the value after creating!

1.) Create key head: Convert regular keys into flip keys for use with the universal remotes (2.0mm cutter);

After enter the modules, we can see default value here which can be used for some flip keys, but you can modify the value based on your needs.

2.) Create the width and thickness of metal keys (2.0mm cutter);

If the key blank is shorter than the jaw, it can be cut in one time! While if the key blank is longer than the jaw, you can select the option to cut extra 5 mm.

It means to cut 5 mm more out of the jaw’s lower edge if selected.

Note: Don’t cut a keyway with handle by this function, otherwise, it may damage cutter or even machine.

What are the advantage of the blade modification function?

2. Locksmith can create needed key blank based on similar key blank and will not lose jobs due to lack of key blank for emergency situation;

3. Convert special keys (thinner and single side TOY40) from regular keys (normal thickness LXP90) to save cost.

3. Alpha Pro blade modification
