The edge of the line your marker created was along the edge of each cutout within the original key. Trimming it so the line just disappears is the correct dimension. Think about if you created a copy from the copy, your key would gradually become less functional if the marker line is visible.

i use the Lishi cutter for Schlage locks. works great. and If a cut is off high i use a file to fix it. great video.. by the way.

Believe it or not you just inspired me to file cut 2 keys with the marker trick. I ended up tipping the original key with a blank on a flat surface and then taped them together with some cellophane tape. I used the marker to trace the cuts and filed to the line. I'm shocked because the duplicate worked the first time. Beginner's luck. (I did make a second copy with the same technique, and it worked too).

I wound up in a situation of needing some early 60's Ford keys duplicated, but nobody could do it for me in town. I wound up tracing the first few like you did with a pencil and used a mini file set. Triangle/square to mark the location of the cuts. Round file to make the cuts and a flat file to round the ramps and peaks. I've made 5 keys and they've all worked. 3 work perfect, 2 work good and if I messed with them some more they'd work perfect too. So, I guess that method works too lol.

I duplicate keys by noting the depths of each cut, then using Space & Depth keys make the key. Same problem as the video-- the Lishi leave the cuts high and it's hard to nibble away .010". I usually go to a file for the final pass to the true depth.

So far I have had no success with this. The technique I saw was to pair the keys with a vise grip and use the existing key as a guide. I pinned up a cutaway lock to test against. I did a bit of filing to try to correct, then threw away the 2 failed attempts. I am quite sure this takes a bit of trial and error / practice. Glad I bought 50 SC1 blanks.

Remember when you mark the key with the sharpie you need to remove the line from the blank. If you leave the line you didnt cut deep enough. Woodworkers always havecto remember rather to leave the and what side of the to cut

Nipped using the original as a guide. Inserted the new and found 3 of 5 were close. A little filing till the pins were flush with the plug and SUCCESS!

i wonder how the cuts look. a 1200 is pretty square and smooth on both edges. pak-a-punch and blue punch have one edge of cut square and the other edge like it was stretched and snapped off. theres a minimum amount of material one can remove or the cutter just slides off.

@@AndrewClairTaylor I also figured out how they were held in the plastic base of the key to remove them.. Earlier Ducati keys have a little metal rivet through the key into the plastic, under the little silver D symbol. Once they're out, they can be aligned. I also went a little further and bought a key cutting machine/duplicator. And also.. I think I had purchased a non genuine lishi cutter. The original is actually cheaper and can be found on the lishi official web page, which I didn't know existed when I first bought it. Learning all the time :D Thanks for your help.

I was going to suggest if the paper method didn't work to use a hacksaw and just hack the head off the key, then buy 2 blanks to transfer to. That way you'll at least always have a metal template in a drawer somewhere but still have two keys haha Happy it all worked out though and thanks for the follow up!

The duplicator is an antique, and was barely more expensive than the Lishi on craigslist. Foley Belsaw 200 if you're interested. They were a bundle in a key cutting course.. They still have the course actually, but there's a lot of these old machines around with barely any use on them.
