Framon #2 Questions

I am hoping someone with great experience cutting a Best WH key on a Framon will contact me. I am very confused how to space this crazy key blank. hanks in advance.
Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool. Wisdom is not just in determining how to do something, but also includes determining whether it should be done at all.

I've cut W series PKS keys on my #2, like any other SFIC key it's tip stopped, so you'll want to gauge from there. But if you don't have one of these, you'll want to get one, it makes all the difference. Not to mention that those blanks are so paracentric that if you try them in the regular vise they'll get tipped at such an angle that your cuts will be way off on depth from side to side.
