vibratory electro pick modified for making impressions on ke
I have used the vise grip and bind bump method, that I learned in the early 1970's I have used the screw driver through the hole on the key bow to bind and a small hammer to bump, and even older method and I have used the bind and jerk out method that the europeans like so much.
Im just not getting the kind of marks i like to see before I file.
the hand method is too rough for these tiny keys,
If I owned on of the picking power tools that spank the pins into submission, I would try to find a way to mount the key blank on the end of that and see if it could make some credible marks,
It would be less likely to bend and break the blank, and could probably make the marks just by hammering away on the blank, in a short stroke that would not be likely to break blanks like using a vise grip plier can.
any of you guys out there want to try that, fit a blank on a pin spanker and see if its the solution to rapid and clear marks on a keyblank for impressioning.
just a suggestion Im hoping someone will try and then show us if it works....
I get ideas, I don't follow through on them all....
this thing is feasible, I just dont own a vibrator of limited stroke to try it out
