ILCO 029A duplicator / code cutter

[Nitrous]

I'm looking at this machine but wonder if it can be used to cut house keys etc by code or only auto keys.

I've got a line on one that is in new condition for $300. Sound like a reasonable price?

The depth and space Accessory Kits for this model are only for car key code cutting. I'm "pretty sure" you can still use it as a Duplicator. Does the person selling it include any Depth Knobs, Code Sheets, or Spacing Keys for xyz car brand?

"The 029A Code Cutter/Duplicator is specially designed
for automotive key cutting applications."

That price is good if it comes with some of the Accessory Kits to actually cut some keys. Just the bare bones machine, yeah still a decent price, but now you'll have to go out and find the kits for it, who knows how much those are.

hope that helps,

Thanks Squelchtone,

The unit is a duplicator too. No accessories available. I have a lathe and mill downstairs so I suspect knocking off accessories wouldn't be too difficult.

I've got a line on a Blitz for 500$ and a Pak-a-Punch for $300.

So many choices

What does the Blitz include for 500 bucks? What cutters and cards etc. Could be a good deal!

All the cards, 3 or four cutters. It sounds like a deal.

knowing what they cost new, it definitely sounds like a good deal!
