Here are the tips to cut shoulder stop keys on the Xhorse Condor or Dolphin key cutting machines.

Definitely easier to use it than to eyeball it. We are going to show you how to use the shoulder stop with it.

Shoulder Stop Keys with Xhorse Dolphin 1

This is our M1 jaw and we see on the jaw there is actually a groove right here milled into it.

The shoulder stop has a little lip on it and that little lip actually fits into that groove and that actually acts as your shoulder stop.
