Now in the bench space of 1 machine you have 2
top-quality key machines. The brilliant design and
engineering makes the switch from code cutting to
duplicating as simple as 1, 2, 3, (phtoo 2).
1. Slide the code bearing sleeve to the right.
2. Push in the locking pin to hold the depth crank in place.
3. Flip the depth crank toggle handle down to engage
the spring-loaded duplicating plunger, (photo 3).
To duplicate a key, load the original key in the right
side jaw and a key blank in the left side. Both jaws are
equipped with tip gauges and integral shoulder gauges
to properly align the keys. Use the space crank to move
the keys laterally along the tracer and cutter, cutting
the key blank from tip to bow. Then turn the space
crank back to make a clean-up pass on the key and return the carriage to its home position. Use the Softie™
de-burring brush to finish the new key. The machine is
then ready to load a new blank to cut another key.
The Switch Blitz™ has an exceptionally wide
distance between the 2 jaws, making it perfect for
duplicating extra-long automotive keys, (photo 4). In
fact, it is the only machine that can duplicate some of
the automotive keys with integral remotes.
To switch back to code cutting, just reverse the
above-mentioned process. No tools are needed and
no adjustments are required to the machine to switch
from code cutting to duplicating, and back again.
The Switch Blitz™ is equipped with the latest convenience features. It comes with the unique Quick Nut on
the cutter shaft that allows for changing cutters without
using any tools, (photo 5). Simply hold on to the belt
with one hand and turn the Quick Nut with the other
hand to loosen and tighten the nut. Hand tightening the
nut is sufficient to secure the cutter on the machine.
The left-hand jaw is furnished with the Easy Flip
Shoulder Gauge handle. This handle makes it easy
to raise and lower the shoulder gauge. It also has the
safety switch on the shoulder gauge, which prevents

the machine from powering on if the shoulder gauge
is not all the way in the down position.
The motor on the Switch Blitz™ is a custom-de-signed, high performance model that provides ample
torque for cutting. It is available in 120VAC and
240VAC for use in lock shops around the world or in
the combination 120VAC/12VDC when you want to
use it in both your shop and vehicle.
The Switch Blitz™ is supplied with 3 cutters:
The CW-14MC cutter is for use on many commer-
cial and residential keys, such as Schlage, Kwikset,
Arrow, and Yale.
The CW-1011 cutter is for use on most car and motorcycle keys, as well as on small furniture and switch
lock key, such as Chicago, Hudson, and National.
The new CW-6010 is a double-angle cutter designed specifically for duplicating on the Switch
Blitz™. While the standard designated code cutters
can be used for most duplicating, the CW-6010 is
best for high volume duplication.
The machine is supplied with an expanded deck of
150 code cards. Additional code cards and adapters
