Thanks,

For Best, I'd want to use the recommended angles. The lands may be different width, and Best are very picky as to precision.

The Blue Punch is the only one that I have seen that can do it without torquing the shit out of a key. I have a Rytan 2000 punch set up for Schlage and Schlage Reverse, it works well on standard blanks but on the thicker NS Everest blanks I have to go over it twice for deeper cuts. Anything deeper than a 4, I make the first cut half as deep then come back and go deeper. It works.tpark wrote: Maybe I should just suck it up and get the Framon 2 machine.

It has a universal cutter installed, the only time you need to change it is for some auto and Medeco. On Best you just widen your cuts manually. I just got a 2 not too long ago and I wouldn't trade it for anything
