Does anyone own a 3d Xtreme?

Postby Pahaseta » 24 Feb 2015 13:40

Hi, I'm thinking of buying one. I open only mobile locks, car, bike, truck etc. for living and I'm going to expand my business to making keys for the customers.

Is that machine the one or am I forced to buy many machines? Mostly VAG, Ford, Volvo, Toyota, Mb, Kia, Fiat, Saab, Scania, MAN for example.

Idea is to make only the tip so the customer gets a spare key for the door.

moi, pahis
I have no experience of the machine in question, but I will give you some general advice.
First of all, it just sounds too cheap. :D
Make sure you get all clamps and cutters you need, are they included?
Can you upgrade the program? -New series/keyblanks are usually not needed every year, but howabout in the future?
The "reputable" machines cost 3-10 times that machine, but if you run into trouble you can call the seller of the machine and ask for help in Finnish language. And in warranty or maintanance issues its easier to deal with the finns rather than send emails to China.
For Silca Finland, contact HGF Oy
For JMA, Suutarikeskus Oy
If you get the machine please post your thoughts on it.
Be good now...

Erhmm, I´m sorry I just glanced at the first advertisements i got when searching the machine and thought it was much cheaper. :oops:
That sounds more like the price I thought it would cost.
