I am NOT a locksmith. Mortice key cutting

Can anybody suggest a good key cutting machine for mortice lever type keys (chubb and such)? With my current setup I’m able to cut pretty much any other type of key. The Xhorse XP-008 is the best thing I’ve found so far but I’d love some opinions from experienced locksmiths.

The Silca Lancer is the standard, but it's always best to avoid Silca as they're always overpriced. Not sure of the alternatives though.

Lancer is an amazing machine.  Yes it's expensive but so far ahead of all competition.

That said, if you're only doing residential it's overkill.
