Grooves in Key Blanks

Grooves in Key Blanks

(OP)
Hello Engineers,

I want to make grooves in Brass Key Blanks. Who makes machines for this operation.

What is the best method to make simulteneous grooves in a key blank.

Please give related information.

Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Thanks and regards,

Bhavesh Dhruve

RE: Grooves in Key Blanks

Extrude a brass key profile with grooves as a feature of the die, then machine keys to proper dimension.

RE: Grooves in Key Blanks

The basic key blank shape is die stamped.  I think that the grooves are then machined onto the blank.

TTFN
