How to Cut Aluminium Key with Xhorse Dolphin II?

Question:

Where is the option for aluminium key in Xhorse dolphin xp005l I can’t find it having to use old dolphin XP005.

 

Xhorse Dolphin II No Aluminium Key Option

 

Answer:

You have to use the M2 clamp.
There is no such an option for the M5 clamp. The Plastic key/aluminium key function was removed.

Xhorse Dolphin II No Aluminium Key Option 2

Xhorse engineer solution:

For keys made of normal conductive materials, place them directly for cutting. For keys made of non-conductive materials, place the keys normally at the beginning of cutting. When the milling cutter starts to rotate, click Pause. After changing the key, click Continue Cutting.

 

1. Mount blank metal and machine to do a detection test.
2. After detection finishes, simple click PAUSE, swap blade.
3. Click RESUME, this is just 1 step before the spindle start, so no more blank key detection.

 

Customer simple solution.
Take a metal version key blank and I use the should stopper against the back edge of the clamp, so when u put the key blank in the clamp the tip of the key hits the shoulder stopper ur holding fast up against the clamp.
Then let the machine “located” the key. then as soon as it turns the motor on hit pause.
Then take the metal blank out and swap it with the aluminum blank. again using the shoulder stop to stop the tip of the key.
Then hit continue.
Some people do this for JLR hu101 keys

It works fork plastic keys (HU66) too.

Xhorse Condor II or Dolphin II for Household Key Duplication?

Entry question:

Looking to buy my first horse key cutting machine mainly for auto and household key duplication. Should I go for the Dolphin XP005L or the Condor II? Any recommendations?

 

They have the same car key database.

As for household key cutting, xhorse dolphin I and dolphin II will not cut house key by bitting. You need to write the bitting yourself.

Dolphin will duplicate only.

Dolphin will cut household keys via Universal Key Duplication only if you have a working key.

Condor Xc mini plus 2 will cut them by code. It is the only xhorse machine has the option to cut house keys by code.

The Condor II machine allows you to use custom bitting directly on the machine. You also need the M4 clamp. Once you learn to create and use custom bitting, the machine will cut extremely accurately, usually within a thousandth of an inch.

What household keys does it in the database?

It has a lot of key types in the 100s for house keys.
Kwikset KW1, KW10, Schlage SC1, SC4, & Y1 etc.

You can check household key types in the menu.

Xhorse Condor II or Dolphin II for Household Keys 4

Generally, Dolphin is a better option for van. If you want to go with Condor you can buy a battery/converter kit that comes with 12v van and wall outlet.

I like my condor mini plus ii with the battery conversion. I charge it from the 12v outlet and it lasts for 20-30 keys depending. I also have the battery powered condor duplicator that also charges from the 12v car port. The Condor ii works great, the cover protects from flying debris, and it is controllable using the screen or key tool max or cellphone app.
