We would actually get use out of the key cutter. Right now we either have to order keys precut from Rotunda/Stratec or put a vehicle down and take the existing key to a locksmith and pay them $45 to trace it. We already have the computer cutter for Mazda and the 10/8 cut Ford keys, and a manual Curtis tracer.
IIRC, Strattec supplies Ford for keys, I bought one recently and it said "Ford Approved Supplier" or something to that extent. I didn't know ANYONE would precut them for anyone, even dealers.
Are you sure the machine you need is 12k? The high end one in the catalog that'll do laser and edge cuts, and will duplicate by optical. Pre loaded with codes apparently?

On sale for only $7,600..... What a bargain
I assume you'll be doing more of the infamous "Tibbe" keys, Didn't they use those on last gen Transit Connects, and use them on the new Transits?
One other question......
The 10 year cutoff obviously won't get me the keycode for my bought new Villager
But what's this separate setup?

I ran my VIN, and it says it still can be pulled.
Is there a possibility it could still be obtained, because I'd love to have it.
(Edit) my bad, you said side cut, so you mean something matching this?
