Curtis Key Cutter Cams

Is there a list somewhere that defines what cams are needed to cut which key types?

Cheeky! :lol:

Can you tell me what the mapping is? Many times they are sold (2nd hand) only by the abbreviation stamped into the side...

Sorry for my ignorance, I don´t know how the cutter works, but...
Do you need a $150-350 set for each keyprofile/cutting card to cut it to code?
Lol, 10-20 different keys and its cheaper to buy a computer guided cutter that can do hundreds or thousands of different keys.

The Curtis Key Cutter is a handheld key clipper, I use mine for automotive keys, it is much more portable than a code key cutting machine and uses only hand power to squeeze the handles together

Thanks ST! This site is pretty much all I turned up as well. They have an abbreviated PDF of the operating manual and some used cams for sale. I also found a youtube video from some guy about the cutter, and he also referenced Hawley. I guess all roads point to Hawley, but I was hoping to find a more comprehensive reference.

I've literally got hundreds of Curtis cams and carriages, loads of code books, clippers, key machine parts etc. When Curtis stopped selling this stuff I bought a wholesale lot.

I have the 2009 Curtis Application guide on my older website. I'm slowly but surely moving and updating stuff to my new website, and hope to have it a bit easier to access in the next few months.

I too, bought so much stuff, unfortunately most of it isn't very popular. I've already recycled over a thousand of their small code books.

I just started spring cleaning last month, and moving 3/4 of my new and used cams/carriages out of my main shipping area. There's no way I'm going to ever sell 135 CAP1 cams. :)

If you do have a list of parts you want to sell, drop me a message.
