"This is more than a key machine - it is a key origination system" - October 1995 National Locksmith Article
That alone is probably the best way to describe the Framon #2 Code Machine. When you choose the #2, you enable yourself to originate almost any cylinder key in use today. Here's just a few of the keys you'll be able to cut with the #2:

Bill Donoughue, Professional Locksmith
The Framon Depth & Space Manual is the core of the Framon #2. The keys mentioned above are only a portion of those that you will have the capability to cut. The manual contains:
Over 800 cylinder key charts
18 letterbox charts
32 safety deposit box charts
The Real Beauty Of The Machine Is It's Low Cost..... In addition to being less expensive than almost any other code machine, the year-to-year cost of keeping your machine up to date is also lower than any others: zero! Because the #2 utilizes manufacturers' depths & spaces to originate keys, all you need to do is copy new information into your book (blank pages provided). This information can be obtained in a variety of ways; the easiest is directly from our web page.
Everything You Need In One Package.....
At Framon, we don't believe in a lot of extras. Here's everything you get when you buy a #2 Code Machine

All of the extras included with the Framon #2 make it a great package. Here are a few of the features that make it a perfect code machine:
Accuracy: All Framon key machines are hand assembled and hand fit. This ensures that before your machine reaches you, it has originated keys accurate to one-half thousandth of an inch (.0005", about the thickness of a hair). This tolerance assures a perfect key every time!
Straight-In
Feed: The #2 utilizes a straight-in feed approach. The straight-in feed of
the #2 provides a perpendicular cut at the root of the key. The flat of the cut
will always be the same depth from the left side of the cut to the right.
Machines that use a pivot approach can produce keys that turn one way but not
the other. The drawing at the right shows the profile of a key cut by a machine
that pivots. The different shear lines from the left to the right side of the
key lead to the turning problem.
Rugged & Durable: The #2 is made from heat treated aluminum and steel. The carriage moves forward on a pair of steel slides. Spacing and depth movements take place on pairs of steel pins and screws. There are no small gears to strip out and no plastic parts to wear out. We've heard plenty of stories from code machine owners who have dropped the machine off of their workbench and cut a key with no adjustments needed!
The #2 utilizes actual space & depth information to cut keys. Here's how
it's done.....

DEPTH:
Depth settings are made in .001" increments by means of a micrometer.
Reading a micrometer is quite simple - the depth micrometer on the #2 Code
Machine is shown to the left. The micrometer depth reading is what gives the #2
its' extreme accuracy. Once familiar with the machine, you'll be code cutting
keys in 30-45 seconds.
