How does it work?
That was easy. I simply copied your answer, pasted it into the search engine and Voila! I knew what it was. Unlike you though, that is all that I know about it.

No frickin’ clue how it works.
I used Google Lens on your picture and it found it right away.
But it made me at least look smart for a minute, right?

I think it’s for making keys for cars. Older stuff I assume.

Remember the old keys with the "punchout" around the little hole? Seems like the original car keys had a number stamped in the punchout. My understanding is that code can be "plugged in" to the keymaker which will then duplicate a missing key into a blank. Guess it would be kind of digital pre-digital.

Interesting video. Not the guy's first rodeo, apparently.
