MODEL 200 KEY MACHINE INSTALLATION
ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION
FOR
DUPLICATING CYLINDER KEYS
The key machine is the locksmith's primary tool and one of his best sources of income. The basic function
of a key machine is to duplicate keys accurately. It is a delicate piece of equipment and requires the
maintenance and care of a precision machine. It should be use
for general shop use. Once your key machine is set main that way if you
do not abuse it by misuse.
A good key machine curately duplicate a
key to within one or two thousandths of an inch. This properly duplicate keys
that
will work. A locksmith takes great pride in up for accurate duplication.
Many key machines in use today do not duplicate t adjusted or operated
properly. You have no doubt heard the complai
dime stores, or grocery stores, that the key did not wor
because of the quality of the key machine but d
in settingthe machine in proper adjustment and keeping it that way.
Your FOLEY-BELSAW Model 200 Key Machine has been designed with precision, accuracyand versatility
in mind. Specialfeatures have been incorporated into the design to make it a combination key duplicating
machine and a code cutting machine. These instructions
will dealwith the installation and operation of the
machine for duplicating cylinder keys. Cuttingkeys by codeand cuttingflat steelkeyswill also be covered.
The location of your key machine is
very important. Itshould be set up in a place in your shop that offers
natural light if at all possible.
A bench tool light should also be used. You should have enough work area to
allow for a key display board to be hung on the wall beside or behind the machine for easy accessibility.

There are two ways of mounting your key machine. You can elther mount it direc ly to your work bench
or on a piece of plywood so that it can be used as a portable installation. If the machine is not attached to
the bench you can easily take it out on the job with yea. We rerommcnd this method of mounting instead
of directly
to the bench since you will have occasions totake the machine or1 the job.

For ease of operation it should be mounted plywood or the equivalent.

INITIAL AT) JUSTMENTS
Your machine has been set at the factory, however, a slight adjustment may be necessary. The first adjust-
ment you should check on your machine is the latc-raladjustment. The distance between the KEY CUTTER
and the KEY GUIDE must be the same as the distance between the faces of the
€3-18 shoulder gauge. See
Figure C. THE DISTANCE RETWEEN THE CII'TTEK. AND GUIDE, AS SHOWN AT C-1, MUST RE THE
SAME AS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE
FACES OF THE SHOULDER GAUGE AS SHOWN AT C-2.
There is
a special set of adjustment keysin your parts bag that you HriU use to set up your machine. Notice
these two keys are identical and each has a large
"V" groove.
Figure C
First, raise the B-18 shoulder gauge up against both keys as they touch the faces of the
the key vises. Now insert both adjustment keys shouldering gauge
. . . . tighten both keys in the
in the vises and line up the front shoulder of vises and lower the shouldering gauge.
KEY MACHINE Page 5

Raise the carriage so the "V" in the adjustment
key in the
LEFT hand vise contacts the key
cutter as shown at
11-2, Figure I). Notice where
the guide contacts the adjustment key in the
RIGHT hand vise. It may be off to one side or
another as shown at
11-3. As this figure shows, it
would be necessary to move the key vise to the
RIGHT to make it line up, or move tht: guide to
the
LEFT. Since the key vise cannot be moved it
will be necessary to move the guide to the left
until
the point is in the bottom of the "V" of
the adjustment key. To do this you loosen the
lateral adjustment screw showti at point W-14.
On the right side is another adjustment screw,
Tighten the screw on the right and this will
move the guide to the
L,EFfI'. Continue doing
this until you have the point of the guide in line
with the bottom of the "V". Don't worry if the
guide doesn't touch the bottom of the
"V" as
this will be taken care of in the next adjustment.
Figure D
The next step is to adjust the guide until it touches the edge of the adjustment key and at the same time
the cutter must touch the edge of the adjustment key in the left hand vise. First, set the micrometer to
0 degree. See Figure E. There are two basic parts to your micrometer: the cylinder as shown at E-1, and
the barrel as shown at
E-2. There is a 0 degree
setting
on the cylinder at E-l and a 0 degree
setting on t.hebarrel at
E-2. Turn the barrel until
you line up the two
0 degree settings as shown.
Figure E
KEY MACHINE

]Vow, with the cutter firmly against the edge of the adjustment key, check to see where the key guide is in
relationship
tu thc adjustment key in tht: right hand vise. Does the guide have togo in or out? The atijust-
rnerit screws shown at H-6 will allow you to move the guide either forward or backward as necessary.
There are two allen screws shown at
B-6. The one at the djustment screw. The one in
front, nearest tothe guide, is the lock screw.
Figure E-1
To move the guide forward, turn the back screw counter clockwise n thefront screw clockwise
to lock the tilting segrnent in place.
To move the guide back, you would first have to loosen the fro turn the back adjust-
ing screw clockwise. Then lock the front lock screw.
As you rnake this acijustmcnt, hold the guide against the edge of the key and turn the cutter by hand. When
itjust scrapes the key in the lcft hand vise your machine will be in proper adjustment.

The cutter rotation is very important. The file type cutter was installed on your machine at the factory
and the teeth should he pointing DOWN. A11 cutters have teeth pointing in the same direction. AI,WAYS
install the cutters as shown in Figure F with the teeth pointing DOWN. lnstallatiori of a cutter with the
teeth pointing
11P would make the cutter work in the wrong direction and damage it. The rotation of your
motor is so that the cutter revolves in the direction of Figure
I?. This throws the chips and shavings down
and away from your face.

CODE
CUTTER
There are three types of cutters used onyour machine. Th
type file cutter was installed at the factory. 'This cutter i
cylinder keys only. This
"V" type file cutter can be
both duplicating and cutting keys by code. The other file
in the parts hag is the one you will be using most of the time.
It is primarily for duplicating cylinder keys.
Steel keys should
NOT be cut with these cutters. The third cutter in the parts bag
is used for cutting steel keys.
STEEL
CUTTER
Since most of your cutting on the key machine will be duplicating keys, we'll change over tothe duplicat-
ing cutter. You
will be using the "V" type cutter rnore fo
ing cylinder keys.
In your parts bag you
will find a file type dup

as the cutter.

First, rrnlove the nut and tho outsido collar on the cutter shaft. l'urn the nut counter-clockwise to removo.
Then, install the duplicating cutter as shown at
G-1. Be sure the flat side of the clatter is to your right as
you Eacc the machine.
Figure G
Next, change the guide. See Figure G. Pull out the pin shown at G-3 and it will release the spring. Pull the
guide
G-2 straight forward and rernove the spring. In the parts bag there is another guide for duplicating.
Slip thc spring on this guide
and install it the sarne as the other guide. Put the pin back in to hold the spring.

KEY MACHINE

Your starting point for duplicating keys should always be at the shoulder, You should work toward the tip
of the key. Line up the shoulder of the key with the edge of the guide as shown at
H-2. Then, line up the
shoulder of the blank with the edge of the cutter as shown at 11-1.
Now, push the carriage toward the cutter and with a forward pressure, move the carriage to the right,
SLOWLY. Watch the key and the guide to see that the guide follows the cuts in the key.
DO NOT WATCH
THE KEY TI-IAT IS BEING CUT. On some keys, it may be necessary to make more than one pass across it
if there is a series of very deep cuts. After the key is cut from the bow tothe tip, recut it again from the tip
,
to the bow. Now, take out the key you have just cut and scrape off all the burrs. Match it with the original
the same as you did in an earlier lesson on matching keys.
Placing the key and blank in the vise clamps properly as well as using an even amount of pressure when
cutting is very irnportant. As long as the starting point of your cutter (11-1) is the same as the starting point
of the guide
(H-2), your key should he cut correctly.
- - - - - -- -
Figure H
If the key doesn't work, check tomake sure the cuts arenot too deep or too shallow. If this is the case, you
need to make an adjustment at the micrometer. Remember, these cutters may have high spots on them and
you will have to adjust the depth on these high spots. 'I'his you can determine by turning the cutter by hand
until itjust scrapes the adjustment key.
If your depth adjustment is correct and you checked the spacing and found
it okay, then you could be
using an uneven amount of pressure when forcing the key into the cutter. You will learn touse an even and
proper amount of pressure with practice on the machine.
After reading the complete instruction manual,
you should test your key machine for proper adjustment.
The best way
to do this is to make a key. We suggest that you duplicate a key for your car or house, or
maybe for a patllock you have available. This way, you can check your finished product in the lock, to see
that it works propcrly.
KEY MACHINE
Page 11

Now, we will cover the duplication of flat keys
and how to change over from cylinder key
making toQat key making.
When changing from one cutter to another, it is
always necessary to recheck the depth adjust-
ment since these cuttersvary a little in diameter.
There are very few cutters that will be the same
in diameter down to two or three thousandths
of
an inch. We can compensate for this differ-
ence
in diameter hy using the micrometer instead
of going to the trouble of resetting the depth
adjustment. [f the new slotting cutter for steel
keys that you are going to instdl is larger, you
turn the micrometer to move the guide farther
out, or toward you.
If the cutter is smaller, you
turn the micrometer to move the guide in, or
away from you.

Figure I
First, let's study the construction of the micrometer again and how it works. Figure I shows how toread
the micrometer.
1-1 is the cylinder, 1-2 is the barrel and 1-3 is the guide. The small graduation marks shown
at
1-4 on the barrel represent one thousandth of an inch (read .001). Each time the barrel is turned from
one of these marks to the next, it moves the
1-3 guide back or Forward one thousandth of an inch (.001").

There are 25 of these graduation marks around the barrel wh -five thousandthsof an
inch
(.025"). If you turn the barrel one complete circle, ould move the
1-3 guide .025**. The second
graduation marks on the barrel are shawn
at 1-5. The epresent five thousandths of
an inch (.005"). By turning the barrel from one mar
0 degree to 5 would move
the guide
.005". All you have toremember for the barrel graduation marks is that the short ones represent
-001" and the long onesrepresent .005" and one complete circle represents .025". To make these decimals
clear in your mind, the following shows the decimal equivalent of the inch and how toread it:
.001" .......... One thousandths of an inch
.005" .......... Five thousandths
.025" .......... Twenty-five thousandths
.05Ou .......... Fifty thousandths
.075" .......... Seventy-five thousandths
.100" .......... One hundred thousandths
..........
.125"
One hundred and twenty-five thousandths
.150" .......... One hundred and fifty thousandths
.175" .......... One hundred and seventy-fivethousandths
.200" .......... Two hundred thousandths

Rach graduation mark on the CY1,INI)E:R as shown at 1-6 represents twenty-five thousandths of an inch
(-025"). Now, with your micrometer setting on 0, turn it with your right hard to your RIGHT, one f~ll
turn. This represents .025" on the barrel markings and notice that the barrel lines up with the second mark
on the cylinder. Turn it one more full turn and
it is .050". If you turn the barrel five more points to the
right, the reading would be
.055". Now turn the micrometer back to 0 and we will reset the machine to cut
flat steel keys.
