<<  you cut about 7 mm  and then, the 

plastic sticks on the blade, goes jumping around, and breaks (even with 

speed at it's lowest setting).  Once I could cut through the 22.5 mm 

width of the key, but then the 20 first mm were stuck together again. >>

A little spray teflon or even the powder works well to keep the plastic from 
sticking. If the blade gets hot, that is where the trouble starts.
