Impressioned key question

A skill known and practiced for years by seasoned locksmiths, impressioning a working key from a blank is a popular new addition in locksport circles everywhere. Get your blanks and Pippin files and get busy!

Impressioned key question

Quick question.
After I have impressioned a key will it duplicate in a machine proper?

Hand filed to machine cut.

No not always, sometimes you will need to file the machine-made copy a bit

Once Impressioned, you could use a Depth Gauge, then have Keys Cut With a Code Machine and will look Factory?

Thank you. I do have an eye on, and a request out for a code machine in the buy, sell and trade thread.
