Vintage ILCO Portable Key Cutter Duplicating Machine
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:7081886 | Brand: Dayton |
MPN: Does Not Apply | Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
I bought this on Ebay and had a shop clean and service the Dayton electric motor and repair the cord. I took the entire machine apart and cleaned and oiled everything. Found a belt for it at a vacuum cleaner shop. It works - I cut a key with it. But it is slow going. The wheel has no nicks or cuts, but I assume that a new one would lead to faster keys. It has 3 bolt holes and b...olts for mounting it to a bench.
I simply need something that is a faster production, as I cut a lot of keys - I like vintage stuff and thought this would work for me. But, not the case.
Here is a video link to it running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuTpKNHGL4Y&feature=youtu.be

I am also open to a trade for a more modern machine.
