Use your CNC to make your own keys

Why pay $2 and up for a spare key when you can make your own with your CNC.  Well if you already have a CNC that is.

The directions are not the greatest on how to do this, but you get the point of it pretty quick.  I think setup to get to the point to mill the key would be the one thing to slow me down (and got to Home Depot instead).  but there have been cases where keys I have for locks (padlocks for example) and Home Depot/other places do not make spares for.
