Manually made with a P-X23MC cutter and the first cut from shoulder is is skewed towards the tip by 0.1 to 0.15" from the factory spec 0.231, which has the same effect as filing down the shoulder

yeah it dosent accept PDF, if any of you want to upload a raw PDF then put it in a zip folder.

Edit: .PDF is now enabled, you no longer have to put it in a zip folder, you may upload the raw file.

I checked out that pdf but it doesn't have Abus on the list, I noticed that the average center to center dimensions are 0.156" is this dimension a safe bet to go for or are the center to center dimensions more critical from lock to lock for bump keys?

Edit: I've had a think about it and that question sounds stupid :oops: What I think I'm trying to say is: Is there any +/- tolerance when making bump keys. I hope thats a bit clearer :)
