DK(depth key)Gauge -simple idea and design

Postby yono » 15 Apr 2011 23:52

Hi friends in making duplicate keys by handpille we use a lot a caliper tools handmades, or the commercially available one. and i find this time consuming in checking, opening the caliper, checking the original key, and the duplicate i am making. so why not design a something easy to use and less time consuming. here is my idea.

why i use letters instead of numbers? well in numbers at 10 it will congest the space. anyway it just a referrence point of the original and the duplicate. to locksmiths who want to make for their own, here are the drawings.
