In this restoration video, I restored a key copy/cutting machine produced in Canada.
More about the restoration/transformation process:
I bought this key cutting machine from a website in Poland and paid around $60 for it. I found it very interesting, and it was worth the effort because we see something like this very rarely.
The restoration/transformation process:
It was uneventful but thorough and took about 28 days. Many parts were damaged due to use and time.
One key grip was missing, and the plug was cracked, so I decided not to risk starting the machine till the problems were addressed.
The disassembly alone took over 12 hours. The most challenging part was making a new key grip and matching the original.
I also wanted to keep a vintage industrial feel, and I succeeded.
If you have any questions about the techniques applied or products used, feel free to drop me a line in the comments section. I reply to everyone!
I enjoyed working on it and am thrilled with how it turned out; it was gratifying to see how it worked and to have the opportunity to own something so interesting.
More about the key cutting machine:
The Dominion Lock Co. from Montreal, Quebec, manufactured the machine's body and components in Canada. Dominion Lock was formed by Sam, Alfred, and Ruth Zion in the 1920's. It closed its doors in February 1985. The electrical motor was made by General Electric in Peterborough, Ontario.
If you have worked with such a machine before or have more information about this keys copy machine, please let me know! I'll be thrilled to learn more about it!
Cheers! Johnny.

Another great restoration and a great way to make additional income! I use to work for a retail store and was trained to use the engraver in jewelry and the key cutter in sporting goods. Some times I would spend the day going back and forth to those two departments because I was the only one on the shift that knew how to use both machines.😊 Glad you listened to your heart and made it useful again. ❤

I had no idea that Canada was exporting machines like this to Europe! It is obviously for the European market, as in Canada we use 110-120 volts at 60 hz, and the data plate shows 220V 50Hz. Nice to see it restored! I remember seeing many just like it here in Canada - with 110V motors, obviously! They used to be in EVERY hardware store!

Nice job. Just something to note for future restorations: polishing the inside of a brass bushing like that isn’t a good idea. Those look like “oilite” bushings, which means they are porous and impregnated with oil. Polishing the inside can “smear” the brass and close off the oil passages, as well as heating it up enough that the oil runs out of it or pools in the bottom half, etc. You’ll start to learn to recognize when you see them, and just leave them alone.

To be fair, it’s a process that not a lot of people can afford to have, not so much the blasting media and cabinet, but the air volume required… The ones that went through a lot to overcome those hurdles naturally get biased towards highlighting it more in a ‘I can finally do this sort of thing!’ kind of way…

@asakayosapro
@asakayosapro 7 месяцев назад
@@jamesfield5346 as with all novelites, the initial excitement does cool down over time for new ways of doing things, whether it be turning metal, milling metal, sandblasting, ultrasonic cleaning, powder coating, brazing, welding and other things that usually either have a high price tag or require a lot of specialized equipment and skill to perform. This of course varies from tradesman to tradesman, as well as how much of their hard earned money they invest into these equipment _as well as the necessary supporting infrastructure, supplies, ancillary equipment, et cetera.._ It’s doable to buy a big 8’ old iron lathe, or perhaps a Bridgeport, but you get that bad boy home and …wait, this thing runs on three phase power? Whaddya mean single phase 240 won’t cut it? What do you mean i need a dividing head to mill helical gears? Hang on, DROs are that expensive? And on and on and on… and that’s not even mentioning consumables and tooling. This goes for manual and CNC machines, though if one can afford an industrial-grade CNC, either they know what they are doing, or their pockets are deep enough to overcome the growing pains of running one - and learning how to without breaking it (hopefully), whether it be on a hobby level or for a business startup. Same goes with most other processes that involve specialized equipment, and this isn’t limited to the regular skilled trades. There’s also the electronics repair and it’s subset, data recovery. Just the specialized hardware card alone for the latter is going for $7k off eBay, and that’s without the skill set and knowledge that the providers of such a service have on how to make good use of it enough to justify charging the prices they have for the services they provide - and this is despite the efforts of the usual greedcorps to make life difficult for people who want their electronics fixed, instead of chucking the thing over a single dead chip that isn’t even 1% of the cost of the entire device, and buying a new one. Such reasons, among other things, are why Louis Rossmann and many others really dislike Apple, John Deere and all others that do the same anti-customer practices. But enough of that tangent; in the end, people like to show off what they invest in to make things, to make things work with, and to make things work better with. Though, I do agree that putting too much central focus on a single process just for the sake of vanity has little, if no merit, that’s just a content creator’s preference, or perhaps, just them being happy with their new ‘big toys for the big boys’.

Also, I didn't think all the way through of their excitement of being able to and having the means to do their passions. I also highlight my "new big boy toys" to others. Probably more than they really care to see. I will, now try to think of their experiences rather than my personal enjoyment of the videos. Thanks again.

I’d liked it better if you’d have straightened out the black part but it looks good.

How do you ever keep track of what goes where when reassembling??!! Do you have to refer back to your video?

Hi there! When I have big projects like this, with a lot of parts, I take pictures. That's more than enough for me, but not for everything usually I do it for small little things to make sure I don't miss them.

Looks like that machine may have been made in Canada, but exported to Europe or Asia. The 230v with two round pins on the power plug are standards in Europe, Russia and Asia. Canadian power plugs have two flat blades and a standard 120v.

If you ever have to drive a shaft in and have to hammer on a threaded end, first put a nut on that end and you will not damage the threads

Tried one of those self service key machines about a year ago when I made a spare key for my neighbor so she could feed my cat's while I was out of town for a weekend. It did a good job of replicating the key, but the metal used was flimsy, and the key started bending by the time I returned. I'll stick with the old method of key cutting for now.

Is the key actually working? That cutting wheel looks quite uncentered

After wire brushing, yes, it worked.
