This is a brief review and first attempt to cut a house key (LW4 keyway) with a DEFU 368A vertical key cutting milling machine. This type of machine is not made to cut keys like this, it's more for cutting security keys, but it's something I wanted to know when I was looking to buy this machine.

Awesome. Just bought one of these for some car keys and had wondered if it could find occasional use for garage or house keys. Nice bonus!
Perfect video! Answered every question I had about this cutting machine :)
Great Vid. Thanks for taking the time to try it and answer answered 👍👍👍👍👍
I have the same machine and I am able to cut house keys as well as motorcycle keys with the machine. I use a wire wheel to clean the burr off of the cut key.
Do you do it top on like in the above vid or do you do it side on? I've seen attachments that will hold a key side on, so I was wondering.
I also bought a Chinese knockoff horizon cutter, but I am having hard time to set up Toyota car keys length wise even using a caliper to measure proper distance. Any advise or tools to simplify?
Can you cut Toyota Corolla 2016 regular keys with 2 sided ?
I don't know how you managed to get your traced to follow and go into the deeper cuts in your original key? Usually when you cut these on a horiozontal machine the tracer bit is shaped like the end of a chisel with a point on it.?

Its funny, ive just asked if i can cut cylinder keys in my vertical cutting machine i just bought, a Silca twister II, an di was told by the dealer no! I don't see why they can't! An dyou just proved it as i thought.
But i thought it could be done with the key lying flat and just cutting the edges, like with a laser cut key. But good to see this video though!
This model is vertical cut key cutting machine. The horizontal cut model will cut these type of key with ease.
Yes, you are correct.

@@jamescc2010 not sure about the horizontal cutters, I've only played with this machine which is vertical.
On the other customer, this cheap automatic (hands off during cutting) Chinese key cutting machine 598A model (ordered from ebay) did not cut 2016 Toyota corollla keys right after 2-3 tries, wasted 2 keys. Most of the times it cut fine but maybe due to worn out master, this time was different and the machine could not trace fine enough idk. Any tips on cutting from worn out master. Anyways Walmart machine cut it ok.
Any reasonable key cutting you can recommend for a few hundred dollars?
Can this do 2015 Chevy Silverado key - similar to laser cut but not like Honda keys?
I'm not familiar with the 2015 Chevy Silverado key, but from a quick google it looks like it's a laser style key and should be ok, but you would have to confirm yourself.
You should post a video with the shim's
What is the cutting bit size you have used? Thanks for the informative video!
I used the biggest cutter that would fit on the flats of the key, I think it was 2.5mm from memory
Amazing!!!
Thanks!
Came across this video about a month ago. I had just ordered in a 368A machine. Did 2 GM keys with the flip remote with it so far. First key I made I destroyed it. Too deep of a cut that once I cut the other side of the key I actually cut right through. The next 2 came out perfect. As I was mentioning I remember this video and you cutting a house key. Well I have 2 Ford Transponder key blanks coming in for a 2000 Mercury Marquis that are cut similiar and will have to set them up in the jaws as you did. They have cuts top and bottom so I will have to turn the key over for the 2nd cut. Should have them in any day. Wish me luck. Any thoughts fire away. I am not a locksmith. Did some searches on the net to see if the 368A machine can cut Ford Transponder keys of the sort I am talking about but came up blank. I guess I will be the Guinea pig.
Ladies and Gentlemen! I found it for 238.38 USD

I'm interested to know how you went with this. It's quite difficult to chuck the two keys up the same.

@ffas23 how did it go ?
Thanks for the video, you answerred a couple of questions I had.
Which cutting tools did you use?
My cutter came setup to cut security keys so I need to change the cutting blades and I don't know which to use. They came tossed in a bag, lol
I just used the one that could fit on the flat spots on the keys that the pins rest on. From memory it is the smallest cutting bit.
I've since cut more keys on the side and used a sacrificial spacer (wood) that also gets milled trough which made the job a bit easier. I finished each key with a file though.
Never insert a key with burrs, remove first otherwise they can jamb up the lock...
Good tip, thanks :)
I know this is an older video but was wondering if anyone has used this machine anymore for 2 sided keys? Tonight was my first time trying and had absolutely no success!!
If anyone has could they tell me what size bit or tracer they used or any other tips/tricks?
Thank you in advance!!!
We'll what keys are they supposed to be to cut like whitco?
I tried it and I fucked up the whole 🗝️☹️
Great video, however I think the star (stumpy blue cattle dog) should have had more screen time.
Is it 110volt & 220 volt please let me know
This particular one is 240v (single phase) but in Austrlia where I'm from that's standard voltage
Thanks for making this content. You answered a question I couldn't get a good answer to elsewhere.
If you happen to read this and reply could you tell me if you still have the machine and what you think of it for cutting standard keys like the one you showed in the video now?
He said what he thinks about cutting the key in the video.
The machine is good for "laser" keys, but it's not very good for house keys.
I ended up buying a normal key cutting machine for house keys and if you're doing more than a couple of keys, it's well worth using the correct style of key cutting machine instead. It's a lot less hassle to lign up the keys etc.

So this machine can do both standard and laser cut?
You can use it to cut normal keys as well as laser.
It doesn't do the best job of cutting standard keys, a standard key cutting machine is a better option for cutting standard keys.

@@MrCybergladiator Hi again, On my Key Cutting Machine Model 368A which looks similar to yours,
left vise jaw, where a blank key is mounted, started to shift to the left so my alignment is off. Is there a way to readjust it, loosening some screws maybe?
@@jamescc2010 I think for most laser style keys you line up the tips with the little L shaped bit that comes with the machine.
@@jamescc2010 from what I can see on my machine, you should be able to re-align it using both the probe head and the machine head then tighten it down again.
Where do you get blank keys?
SeñorMonkeys , mostly Ebay or my local speciality shops like www.locksgalore.com.au and www.lockpicksaustralia.com.au
MrCybergladiator Are all blanks keys the same including cars keys
SeñorMonkeys , No, most keys are a different shape if that's what you're asking, but I get them from the same places
@@TheZantiago2000 yes every one is
Any updates on better clamps ?
Used these machines quite a lot, especially cutting dimple or tracked car keys but never household keys..
Can you mount the keys flat and cut them sideways ?
I have cut several keys by putting them flat and using a sacrificial spacer that also gets machined through. This does make it much better and easier job than top milling like in the video.
I haven't made the clamp up yet unfortunately.
@@MrCybergladiator do you have picture of the setup with spacer ?
@@sinthuryanponnuthurai7288 unfortunately no, I dont have any pics
@@MrCybergladiatorI see, do you have experience with cutting keys like this www.adrenalin-pedstop.co.uk/upload/products/4039f019-c66e-40cd-8b56-d5dc9483c866.jpg with machine 368a? Is it possible, and would the result be good?
Is this machine chinese?
I believe so, I bought it from Alli express
