Key cutting and duplicating apparatus having multiple cutting implements and probes

A key cutting apparatus comprising:

• a frame having a reference axis;
• a microprocessor;
• a key blank holder;
• a carriage assembly coplanar to the reference axis and supporting the key blank holder, the carriage assembly configured to be horizontally movable under control of the microprocessor along an X-axis that is orthogonal to the reference axis, and along a Y-axis that is colinear to the reference axis;
• a cutting drill configured to be actuatable under control of the microprocessor, the cutting drill extending along a longitudinal Z-axis and being vertically movable under control of the microprocessor along the Z-axis, the Z-axis being orthogonal to each of the reference axis, the X-axis, and the Y-axis;
• and
• a cutting wheel configured to be actuatable under control of the microprocessor such that a cutting motor causes the cutting wheel to rotate along the first rotational axis orthogonal to the Z-axis and an angle rotating motor causes the cutting wheel to be rotationally positionable about a second rotational axis orthogonal to both the first rotational axis and the Z-axis for cutting biaxial angle notches in a key blank held by the key blank holder.
