A machine for the manufacturing of tubular keys wherein the tubular key to be cut is tightly supported within a support means which includes the use of a pivotable indexing plate which will precisely pivot the key to any desired pivotal location. The key is to be lineally movable upon a base in a direction transverse to the longitudinal center axis of the key. A measuring indicator is provided to accurately determine the amount of lineal movement of the key in the transverse direction. A motor driven rotatable cutter is also mounted for lineal movement on the base. The lineal movement of the cutter is parallel to the longitudinal center axis of the key. Another measuring indicator is employed to accurately measure the extent of movement of the cutter with respect to the key. The cutter is capable of being driven at various rotational speeds.
