How to Tell VAG HU162T 8-Cut, 9-Cut and 10-Cut Keys?

 As titled, how to distinguish VAG HU162T 8-Cut, 9-Cut and 10-Cut key blades? So we can properly cut keys using xhorse dolphin or condor key cutting machines.

The picture shows the side of the 3 keys.
From top to bottom, they are 8-cut, 9-cut and 10-cut.

 

The 8-cut (HU162T (8)) key is the easiest to distinguish.

It has only one fixed cut on the side and is straight.
The effective surface is on the top.

 

The 9-cut and 10-cut key can be quickly distinguished by the position of the effective surface.

The effective surface of 9-cut key is on the top, while the effective surface of 10-cut key is on the bottom.

It is also possible to distinguish them by the number of cuts.
9-cut key has 3-side cuts

10-cut key has 4-side cuts.

Xhorse Dolphin XP005L HU101 Recommend to Use 1.5mm Cutter?

 Problem:

I try and cut a HU101 blade with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L. It asks to use 1.5mm cutter tho it cuts it perfectly with a 2.5mm cutter. Then I put a 1.5mm cutter in and it instantly Broke it in half. Any clue?

Solution:

Usually 2.5mm cutter works fine on HU101 blade.  But not always work with 2.5mm depending on the key bitting if you have a deeper cut between 2 low cuts you see why the machine recommends the 1.5mm cutter.

If you break a cutter, you need to calibrate the cutter and let machine know you have changed sizes or it will break.  When you change cutter you have to calibrate it again.

1mm diference machine doesn’t know about.
