Key Features
- Versatile EZ-Jaw® Vise Jaws: Four-position EZ-Jaw vise jaws securely grip virtually all residential, commercial, and automotive keys, including double-sided types, without requiring adapters.
- User-Friendly Adjustment: Jaws rotate from one position to another without lifting, and wide spacing accommodates modern longer keys and large-headed keys.

Kaba Ilco D837922ZB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kinds of keys can the Ilco Bravo III cut without buying extra jaw adapters?
The Bravo III's four-position EZ-Jaw vise jaws grip residential, commercial, and automotive keys, including double-sided types, with no adapters needed. The jaws rotate between positions without lifting them out, and the spacing between jaws is wide enough for modern longer keys and large-headed key blanks. For a locksmith running a mixed board of house, office, and car blanks, that means one machine setup rather than swapping jaw sets through the day.
2) Which cutter wheel and brush does the Ilco Bravo III take when they wear out?
The cutter is a CU50A milling cutter, flat left side, cobalt steel. The deburring brush is a soft-touch nylon type, part D925102ZR. Those are the two consumables that go dull with volume, so shops cutting daily usually keep a spare of each on the shelf. The tracer point is also user-replaceable when it wears.
3) What does semi-automatic mean on the Bravo III, and how much of the cut does the operator control?
You still guide the carriage by hand along the pattern key, but the cutter motor starts on its own: a micro-switch fires it when you raise or lower the carriage, so there is no separate power switch to hit mid-cut. The carriage is spring loaded on two shafts, which holds cutting pressure steady and keeps the feel sensitive as you trace. It is not a code machine and not a fully automatic duplicator, it is a hand-traced duplicator with the motor control automated.
4) What power does the Ilco Bravo III key machine need at the bench?
Standard 110V, driving a 1/4 hp capacitor start motor. That is an ordinary North American shop or counter outlet, so no dedicated circuit or step-up transformer is part of the setup.
5) How do you dial in depth of cut on the Bravo III when copies are coming out shallow?
Depth is set at the tracer point, which has micrometer dial regulation for fast, fine adjustment. Rather than shimming or replacing parts, you turn the dial to bring cut depth back onto the pattern. If the tracer point itself has worn, it swaps out and you re-zero from there.
6) Is the Ilco Bravo III built for a commercial locksmith shop or for occasional in-house key cutting?
It is catalogued as commercial-duty locksmith equipment, and the feature set reflects counter volume: automatic cutter start, spring-loaded carriage for repeatable pressure, and jaws that handle residential, commercial, and automotive blanks on the same setup. A property management or facilities shop cutting a handful of unit keys a week will not outrun it; a hardware counter duplicating all day is the use it is aimed at.
7) What keeps an operator from hitting the cutter on the Bravo III?
The carriage release button only works when the key gauges are in the down position. That interlock prevents the carriage from releasing into the cutter accidentally, which matters when a shop has several people of varying experience on the same machine.
8) Does the Bravo III deburr the key, or do you need a separate wire wheel?
Deburring is built in. A soft-touch nylon brush, part D925102ZR, is included on the machine, so a freshly cut key gets cleaned up without moving to a separate bench grinder or wire wheel.
