Common questions about cutting angles and manufacturing specifications
Standard cutting angles for motorcycle keys typically range from 45° to 90°, with 60° being most common for conventional cutting and 90° for laser cutting applications.
Cutting angle affects the key's ability to engage lock pins properly. Incorrect angles can cause binding, poor operation, or premature wear of both the key and lock mechanism.
Optimal cutting angle depends on key material, cutting method, lock type, security requirements, and manufacturing equipment capabilities.
Generally, all cuts on a single key should use the same angle for consistency and proper lock operation. Mixed angles can cause operational issues.
