If your HPC Blitz 1200 keeps cutting bad single-sided keys, the problem usually isn’t the machine — it’s how the key is loaded.
In this video, I show the correct way to load a single-sided (edge cut) key into the HPC Blitz 1200 so it cuts straight and works the first time. This is a common mistake that wastes blanks and causes shallow or inaccurate cuts.
I cover which jaw and clamp position to use, shoulder stop vs tip stop, how to align the key properly to avoid banana cuts, and a quick check before pressing cut.
This video is aimed at locksmiths, apprentices, and lock shops using the HPC Blitz 1200 key cutting machine and wanting consistent results when cutting single-sided house keys.
