M.A.C.S. For Yale 8

funny, books dont usually tell..

but.. my .003 pinning kit says for the .019 spacing, tis 5..

--Shiva--

Well, I want a book to tell me-LOL-JK

I guessed it to be 4.

.019 increment, 5 looks about right-Thanks Shiva.

me too, but havent found one.. Framons depth and Space book doesnt say, either

--Shiva--

CodeSource would show it I am sure. Maybe we make our own-LOL

Later, goma.

High Tech tools, some years back, issued a 'book' with the tool update. It listed the SC, the CC, depth of cuts, and the MACS.. FOR THE CAR KEYS.. along with the blanks and sub blanks..

now i WISH someone would do it for REGULAR keys as well.. Framon has all BUT the macs.. --Shiva--

British Yale seemed to use a MACS of 4, both for ordinary and multiplex (at least on keys around the 1960's). The spacing I measured at the time was

0.5mm (using vernier callipers to measure the 0 - 9 distance) which is near enough to 0.19in. A difference of five would have definitely undercut an adjacent high cut.
