Mills Key Cutting Machine & Keys

Postby Nations Attic » Tue Feb 02, 2016 12:34 pm

We have had this old Bell Lock or Mills style key cutting machine for a number of years. We used it a few times but then put it away. This machine will duplicate a Mills style key. It works just like a traditional key cutting machine but in this case is set-up to put the grove on the sides rather than on the edges (worm cut - Mills key style). We did install a brand new belt and power cord as the originals were rough.

The machine was made by the Keil Lock Company and is a model 7-1/2. The original key is clamped into the left side of the mechanism. A guide follows the pattern of the original and a small round bit cuts into the blank. When we used it the guide seemed to be a little to narrow - probably worn down over the years. It took a few passes to get the blank cut just like the original. I believe these guides can be purchased from key supply companies, but we never checked into it.

When we found this machine we also purchased up all the correct Mills slot machine size key blanks we could find - at the time we were told these blanks in this size were no longer being made. We have approximately 145 blanks.

We have the machine for sale at $350 plus $40 for shipping. The keys can be sold by the box of 50 for $250 per box or $725 for all 145 keys.
