BD Laser Max key cutting question
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 6:18 pmMy guys constantly bend the tracer on this unit, but no one seems to know why. Anyone else have this problem? It was recalibrated recently... thanks!

Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 6:24 pmOur issue was paying attention to the "trace" key being flat on the jaw and most importantly the tip depth slide that will vary from key to key.

We just learned to live with it, and begin charging a code/cut charge to compensate the bad cut keys as well as the tracer tips & cutting blades.
