The main focus of this page is to discuss how to use dolphin key machines and to cite the Xhorse key cutting machine's various variants.
Tips on How to Use a Dolphin Key Cutting Machine
Xhorse Dolphin XP005 is one of the company's most recent innovations with a built-in battery.
It has the same features as the Condor XC Mini. Dolphin operates via a Bluetooth connection on a mobile phone application. This blog provides tips and tricks to minimize confusion since it is operated automatically via a third-party app.
Steps for Installation
Install cutter and probe
● Insert the cutter into the mounting hole and press the blade to the end. Then lower the cutter 2-5mm. The lock bolt and the fixed milling blade are engaged when the screw is parallel to the notched portion of the milling cutter's side.
● Insert the probe in the mounting hole, with the tip higher than the cutter's tip.
● Turn the 'probe locking screw' clockwise on until the probe is securely fastened.
Uninstallation:
● Unscrew the cutter and probe locks counter-clockwise till they are loose.
● When it gets loose, take out the blade or probe.
Clamp Installation:
● Clamp locking screw removal
● Select the correct clamps for your keys, place them in the clamp holder, and then fully push the right button.
● You should tighten the clamp lock screw all the way.
