any value or use in a key cutter?
I posted earlier about the Benchmaster Key Cutter, Mocel MH2.
I didn't get many responses, leading me to assume there isn't much value anymore in such a machine. Is there any value, or is there a way to convert this machine to another use? Cus |

As in key for locks, internal keyway cutter, etc. The brand and model number means nothing to me so unless you give more info and or pics I'm in the dark.

He doesn't need another but might interested in having a spare. Can you e-mail me a picture? Or maybe e-mail me your phone number so I can learn more about it. Eric |

As I stated we need a picture to even know what kind of machine you have. Is it a portable mill for cutting key ways on shafts, or is it a key seater for cutting internal key ways in bores? Till you give us more to work on we don't have a clue. Wayne Cook Shamrock, TX http://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook/index.htm |

Thanks for the reply Roger, I'll see about a pic, maybe it will help everyone. I did a Google search as well, didn't come up with much. This is something I am doing for a widow, so everyone have a little patience with me. |

Cus However difficult, it is going to be necessary for you to post a picture or much better description of this machine. From what little I gather, it might be a special purpose machine to cut keyways, a special purpose milling machine.... and is not, thus, either a broach or a keyseater. If it is capable of milling, table size, collet type, etc. will be necessary. Thus far, you have announced that you have a really weird whatzit, "anybody wanna buy it?" No wonder that you don't have a line of purchasers dying to stuff money in your hands..... well, it is not necessarily being offered for purchase just yet. i am trying to see if it has value, and if so how much i can get for the widow. true, it does appear to be a weird whatzit. pic following eventually. |

Fair enough. pic following eventually. Please don't post it here, this isn't a binaries group. If you don't have a webserver, email it to me and I'll post a link for you. Dave Hinz |
