4.4 USING THE CUTTERS
The cutter provided, with code “W101”, is suitable for laser keys (for certain SSN only).
The cutter provided, with code “W146”, is used for engraving only.
The cutter provided, with code “W500”, is an “alternative” tool which can replace certain special cutters for keys
with dimple cuts (see 5.5.2).
ATTENTION:
the right cutter to use for an SSN in use will be shown on the display.
The type of cutter to fit is indicated by the letter W (hard metal). If the operator does not have
the required tool s/he may select a different one:
indicated by the letter W (hard metal) (see page 32 User Parameters).
indicated by the letter H (HSS) if included in the Silca database (see CUTTER
CALIBRATION).
It is good practice to set the cutter material for your cutters. In this way, when the cutter is
needed by the SSN in use, cutter spindle speed will be appropriate.
To achieve OPTIMUM results on keys, use hard metal cutters (W).
If you need to use HSS cutters (H), to achieve optimum results use only two-bladed ones.
