Which duplicator

[zeke79]

I am moving up from an ilco mighty max to a new machine soon. I was wondering if the ilco 040 is worth the extra $100 over the hpc power speedex. I know the 040 is an automatic, and I also really like the easy adjustability of the ilco machine.

Any one else have any comments on these machines?

It sure is a definite improvement...already told ya that, but thought I'd so publicly.

Thanks Varjeal. I ordered an 040 today so it's on its way.

Any desire to "pass around" your mighty max for aspiring customers?

The mighty machine was given to me but now needs a new cutter and bushings as it's only good to 2 generations on a schlage key and that's iff you know how to take up some of the slack while cutting. I will likely replace the bushings and cutter and give it back to who gave it to me. A passaround is not likely unless the person doesnt want it back which I think is unlikely.
