Anyone cutting the new 2023 Silverado laser cut keys? We have a BDLaser and they do not fit in the new machine to do the one side.

Like a 13536164?

Yes, we have the Futura Pro NA and it handles the banana seat key just fine.

We also have the Futura Pro NA and have had no issues fitting the banana

Yes that is the part number. I guess we need to order cut keys for these from now on. Not ready to buy a new key machine yet.

Laser cutting keys

What are you using for cutting sidewinder keys? We have a key blank here 13536164, the plastic head (looks like a banana seat on a Schwinn Stingray bicycle) on the key will not allow it to sit true on the blank jig. Hopefully our local locksmith will be able to cut it. Software will not update, probably the entire machine is obsolete, BD Laser Max.
The hell with cutting keys, ready to let the locksmith handle them all or order pre-cut.

One local dealer is contemplating the purchase of a $1500 jaw for their machine, to cut these bad boys. Their cut/code charge will reflect that accordingly; without prejudice! We're still ordering ours pre-cut from GM, thankfully all have been cut correctly so far.

MSC tells me that they do not have a retrofit kit to cut these keys on the BDLaser machine. Only option is a new machine.
