Everything You Need In One Package…..

At Framon, we don’t believe in a lot of extras. Here’s everything you get when you buy a #2J Code Machine

In addition to cutting all of the detention keys, the #2J can still be used to cut almost any cylinder key you’ll come across. If detention key cutting is your line of work, the #2J is your machine!
Possibly The Most Perfect Code Machine Ever Created……

All of the extras included with the Framon #2J make it a great package. Here are a few of the features that make it a perfect code machine:

Accuracy: All Framon key machines are hand assembled and hand fit. This ensures that before your machine reaches you, it has originated keys accurate to one-half thousandth of an inch (.0005″, about the thickness of a hair). This tolerance assures a perfect key every time!

Rugged & Durable: The #2J is made from heat treated aluminum and steel. The carriage moves forward on a pair of steel slides. Spacing and depth movements take place on pairs of steel pins and screws. There are no small gears to strip out and no plastic parts to wear out. We’ve heard plenty of stories from code machine owners who have dropped the machine off of their workbench and cut a key with no adjustments needed!

Cutting Keys By Measurement…..Unequalled Accuracy & Simple To Do

The #2J utilizes actual space & depth information to cut keys. Here’s how it’s done…..

SPACING: To cut a key, you need two dimensions: starting cut (distance from the shoulder to the first cut) and spacing (distance between cuts thereafter), both found in the Depth & Space Manual. Shown at the right is the Schlage chart from our Depth & Space Manual. Schlage cylinder keys use .231″ starting cut and .156″ spacing. Starting cut is set by zeroing the machine and counting out to .231″. Once set, the the spacing block with .156″ is aligned. Cut to cut spacing is a simple matter of aligning two index marks.
