ADDED BONUS: Use the same mobile device across multiple machines (including Tritons!) and you have access to all of your custom key types, no matter which machine you cut it on! Decode by PhotoTake a picture of your key with your mobile device and visually decode it yourself. Especially useful when you need to decode non-conductive keys (ex: aluminum or plastic) or when dealing with extremely worn keys (ex: Ford H75). Note that this is a feature that wouldn't be possible on machines that have integrated touch screens. Trace DuplicationTrying to duplicate a key you can't find or don't know the name of? This feature allows you to copy keys by just telling the machine what TYPE of key it is (single-sided edge-cut, double-sided edge-cut, single external laser-cut, double external laser-cut, internal laser-cut, or tubular) and it will "feel" its way around the key and figure out the rest for you. Progressioning (Fill)You know some, but not all, of the cuts on your customer's key? Enter the info you know (key type and some cuts) and the software gives you the possibilities for the unknown cuts to help make a fully working key. (Internet connection required) Comprehensive Key Code DatabaseQuickly converts your code to cuts—automotive, commercial, and residential all included. No other software needed! (Internet connection required) Support for Decimals (Fractional Cuts)When extra accuracy is needed, the Black Widow app gives you the ability to use decimals for inputting depths. When duplicating, turn on decimals/rounding to duplicate a customer's key exactly, or turn it off to bring their key back to factory original. Adjustable Cutting DepthAll machines of this type seem to have problems with webbing thicknesses sometimes, that thin sliver of metal left uncut between both sides of the key. Especially with Honda high security keys, thick webbing can stop the key from entering the lock and maybe even damage the wafers. No longer do you need to shim the key to thin the webbing. Just increase your cutting depth on the cutting screen and get the job done. Choose Between Plunge or Contour CuttingContour cutting (sometimes called laser cutting) an edge-cut key can leave your key functional but looking funny. It will work just fine, and in fact it is much easier and faster to copy on a duplicator, but old ladies look at the key and think it won't work. The Black Widow gives you the option of plunge cutting, leaving your key looking like it was cut by a traditional cutting wheel. Easy & FREE Wireless UpdatesUpdates are included for the life of the machine, and because the Black Widow uses a mobile app to operate, updates are performed automatically in the background without you even noticing. SUPPORTED KEY TYPES Cuts over 99% of all commercially available car and motorcycle keys High Security Keys: YES Double-SidedEdge-Cut Keys: YES Single-SidedEdge-Cut Keys: YES1 6-Cut & 8-CutTibbe Keys: YES1 Dimple Keys: YES2 Tubular Keys: YES1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Does the Black Widow require an Internet connection? If you need to convert a key code to cuts or do some progressioning, then yes. But all other features can be performed just fine without a connection to the Internet. Does the Black Widow use tools to change parts? Jaws can be swapped without any tools—just loosen the thumb screw and slide the jaws in and out. Like all other key machines of this type, the included allen wrench is needed to remove and insert cutters and tracers. Good thing there's a great tool storage compartment so you don't even need to worry about losing it! Can cutting keys using a wireless connection cause problems? The Black Widow has been equipped with Bluetooth version 5, an extremely fast and reliable method of communication for devices like these that need to pass data back and forth. Things happen though, like your phone dying, or you walking out of range to use the bathroom while the key is still cutting. Rest assured that the Black Widow doesn't start cutting until it already has the info it needs to finish the cut. If it ever loses its data connection with your mobile device during cutting, your key will be undamaged, and in most cases, the machine will complete its cutting process. Is it easy to see the key while the Black Widow is cutting? Definitely yes! The Black Widow has a clear, untinted cutting shield and bright LED lights that continuously follow the cutting field as the machine does its work. Please note that, like a pair of expensive glasses, if you put them face down on your table, it will become scratched. Please use the shield mount that comes included with your machine. Does the Black Widow have an integrated battery? No, it does not. We have discovered that machines like the Dolphin or Dolphin II by XHorse that have batteries built-in will stop working completely when the battery dies, even if you have the machine plugged into a power outlet. The battery for the Black Widow is an inexpensive, external accessory for this reason. How do I get support? Technical support is provided by Lock Labs. Please call their tech support line at 888-816-1046. How long is the warranty? The Black Widow comes with a 2-year warranty for parts and labor. Repairs are performed in Las Vegas, Nevada. Can the Black Widow engrave? Sorry, no, it can't. You would need the Triton Key Machine if that feature is important to you. Can the Black Widow cut the new Honda steel keys? Yes, it does a great job cutting and decoding those keys! And unlike our competitors, you don't need to spend over $500 for any additional accessories. We can cut them using the standard jaw and cutter! Can the Black Widow cut the new VW/Audi HU162T keys? Yes, it does a great job cutting and decoding all 4 sides of the 8-cut, 9-cut, and 10-cut HU162T keys using the standard jaw and cutter! Can the Black Widow cut the new Ford HU198 keys? Yes, it does a great job cutting and decoding those keys using the standard jaw and cutter! Can the Black Widow cut Mul-T-Lock 06 keys?
