    I live in Bonney Lake and Ive been looking for a shop that could gring/shave the outside of a wheel lock key so that the key will fit in my wheel.

    If anyone knows of a shop that can do this, let me know

    buy a bench grinder for 40 bucks and do it yourself, and then you will always have a bench grinder

    it takes 5 minutes to throw it in a lathe and turn it down..ive done it
    so make a machinist friend and throw a couple beers his way and it will be done.
