Yeah ao using a worn key to cut a new key back to spec is a farily simple process I eyeball it. So with an 88 El darado that's a 6 cut key with 5 depths highest depth is a 1 lowest is a 5 so I just look at it and go 112345 or whatever the case might be. And because there are only so many combinations of cuts that's how you get the "wrong key" to work and in the case of a Ford 10 cut which is most tbirds and cougars the depth between any 2 cuts let's say depth of 1 and depth of 2 isn't very much often times a 2 would wiggle jiggle in place of a 1 and so forth
