Silca POKER PRO - Use of Pins; Cutting Cruciform Keys

4.4 USE OF PINS
For keys with narrow stems the pins must be placed
between the bottom of the clamp and the back of the key
so that the key protrudes suffi ciently out of the clamp and
therefore can be properly read and cut.
If the key has a narrow stem and is also very thin, 2 pins
must be used (Fig. 31).

If the original key is broken, place a suitable sized pin in the groove of the keys stem so that it is properly held in
place and therefore can be copied (Fig. 32).
NOTE: use pins with the same diameters for locking both the original and the key blank.

The standard 4-sided clamp can be used to cut almost all cruciform keys (except for Y and T shaped ones).
1) Leave the gauge in its original position.
2) Fit the key into the clamp.
3) Butt the key stop against the bars
.
4) Secure the keys in the clamps.
5) Remember to remove the bars before proceeding with cutting.
6) Cut the fi rst side
.
7) Repeat the operation, turning both keys in the same direction for the other positions.
