Does anyone by chance have a key blank "gun" that cuts the OEM oval key by dialing in the OEM key number stamped on the OEM key? The local dealer here no longer has theirs.

Why ? If you have a code for a certain key , a decent locksmith will cut it on a computer controlled machine . More accurate than an old school clipper . I have both, by the way ! But , I'm in Victoria B.C.

I think he means "original key code #" on the original key.

Cutting is easy at any lock smith.

I know what he's asking - I get asked this all the time . At least twice a week for over 25 years- this is what I do for a living - I'm a locksmith.

I had a local locksmith cut me a pair from code a couple of weeks ago. I'd recommend having them cut one on a cheap key blank first, as a test, then copy that to the new repro once you are certain it works well. In my case, the locksmith found that the codebook actually contains a typo in my car's code. After correcting for that, the new pair on the generic blanks were fine, so I then had that code copied to the new oval head repro. I plan to keep one of the two generics as an unused pattern for the future, will use one generic as my daily-driver key, and the nice repro when I go to meets, shows, etc.

Thanks guys I got the owner of the oldest locksmith in town to cut it for me via my key code. He understood what I wanted vs. his young helper that said my key doesn't look too bad. Then the owner interjected and said I am looking for the most accurate cut not a cut that just gets by.
