Framon #2 Code Machine

Framon2


Recognized Throughout The Industry As The Most Accurate & Durable Code Machine Available

"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:

"The Framon #2 is without a doubt the easiest and most accurate code machine I've ever used."

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

Possibly The Most Perfect Code Machine Ever Created......

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!

Bad Key JobStraight-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!

 

Cutting Keys By Measurement.....Unequalled Accuracy & Simple To Do

The #2 utilizes actual space & depth information to cut keys. Here's how it's done.....

Mfgr: Schlage Depths
Series: Pin Tumbler 0-.335
Blanks: 1045C, etc. 1-.320
Cuts Start At: .231 2-.305
Spacing: .156 3-.290
Block #: 1 4-.275
Incr.: .015 5-.260
No. Of Spaces: 5 or 6 6-.245
Spaces: .231, .387, .543, .699, .855, 1.011 7-.230
  8-.215
  9-.200
SPACING: To cut a key, you need two dimensions: starting cut (distance from the shoulder to the first cut) and spacing (distance between cuts thereafter), both found in the Depth & Space Manual. Shown at the right is the Schlage chart from our Depth & Space Manual. Schlage cylinder keys use .231" starting cut and .156" spacing. Starting cut is set by zeroing the machine and counting out to .231". Once set, the the spacing block with .156" is aligned. Cut to cut spacing is a simple matter of aligning two index marks.

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.

 

Framon #1 Code Machine


The Machine That Started It All....

The Framon #1 is the predecessor of the #2. The #1 has a fixed spindle instead of a tilting version. If you're just getting started and don't plan on cutting Medeco or Emhart keys, the #1 is the ideal machine. It can originate almost any cylinder key in use today except, of course, Medeco or Emhart. Included with the #1 at time of purchase:
F2MS350	Depth & Space Manual		F2MS451	6" Dial Calipers
FC8445	Standard Cutter			F2MSSB1	#1 Spacing Block
F2MS899 Demonstration Video		F2MSSB2	#2 Spacing Block
FC8735	Foreign Auto Cutter		F2MSSB3	#3 Spacing Block
FFS1045	.045" HSS Slotter 		F2MSSB4	#4 Spacing Block
F2MS552	Spacing Clip			F2MSSB5	#5 Spacing Block
F2MS402	1/8" Allen Wrench		LKMS410	Brass Shim
If your plans change about cutting angled keys after you have the #1, a conversion kit is available. A new spindle assembly and Medeco cutter are included.

Framon Code Machine Accessories


Optional Accessories For The #1 Or #2 Code Machine


Double Sided ViseDOUBLE SIDED VISE
This vise will hold the wide, deeply milled blanks such as X160, X161, X176 and X184 that tend to tip in the standard vise. The reverse side of the vise has a built-in tip stop and special millings to hold all of the interchangeable core keys firmly. The vise eliminates the need for shims and wires to hold these blanks. Fits Framon #1 or #2 Code Machines. PART NO. F2SH050



Spacing Block SetSPACING BLOCK SET FOR DOMESTIC AND IMPORT SPACING
60 different spacings from .045" to .170". Includes Ford 10 wafer spacing and VB series with double cuts. These blocks snap in and out of the spacing block holder and fit all existing Framon Code Machines. Also included is a new spacing clip for tip-stopped keys. PART NO. FSB1001

Safety Deposit BlocksSPACING BLOCK SET FOR SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX KEYS

MEDECO KEYMARK™ VISE
Originally, a special vise was needed to cut Medeco KeyMark keys. Our F2SH050 Double Sided Vise will now hold KeyMark keys without tipping. 


Tibbe FixtureTIBBE KEY ATTACHMENT
An attachment for cutting Tibbe keys. This unit will fit all Framon Code Machines and comes complete with a .088" carbide slotter and instructions for use. This unit will cut both the 6 and 8 wafer Tibbe keys that are used on Ford and Jaguar autos. These keys can now be cut quickly and accurately at a very low cost to Framon Code Machine owners. PART NO. F2SH070

 


Depth & Space Manual, 1997 EditionDEPTH & SPACE MANUAL - VOLUME  9, 10/99
