Some of these key cutting machines are cheaper, and some are more expensive.

Key cutting is the primary method for key duplication and while key cutting machines are mostly automated, there is a step-by-step setup that is needed before the process can take place:

1. Select a blank key with a similar appearance to the original key
2. Insert the original key into the first vice (make sure that the teeth are visible and facing upwards)
3. Place the new key into the second vice of the machine (this is where the cutting blade is located)
4. Ensure that both keys are fitted and the protective covered is closed before turning on your key cutting machine
5. Once your machine is switched on, your machine will automatically detect the speed and angle at which the cutting wheel should be spinning
6. Trace the teeth and grooves of the original key
7. Switch off the machine when the cut is complete
8. Use a wire brush to remove debris and polish any rough edges
9. Compare the two keys side-by-side
