Overview
Use the keyhole slot cutter to rout a vertical or horizontal slot for hanging pictures and other wall hangings. The finished slot has a wide end that accepts a screw, while the narrower section captures the screw head. Simply plunge the bit through to create the larger diameter, then rout laterally to create the narrower slot. Keyhole slots are also sometimes used for knock-down furniture.
- Makes a 3/8" entry hole and blind slot for positive hanging on a headed fastener.
- Use the slot cutter to cut a vertical slot for hanging pictures with a centered slot.
- Rout two or more horizontal slots for larger hangings.
- For added convenience, use with our Picture Hanging Keyhole Template. We recommend using the 3/8" Hanging Slot Router Bit (92024) and 5/8" Short Shank Guide Bushing and Nut (38756) with the template (Sold Separately).

I used this on a shadow bow that would be hung on the wall. it worked great but the set up took some time. having a jig for this would be great.

I purchased the 3/8" diameter cutter. It cuts great. Please note: these cutters are not T-slot cutters even though they look similar. You can plunge with these cutters and cut the entire key hole, without any other tool. Please look at diagram carefully! and, when cutting, pay attention to what you're doing.
First this is a key hole...

First this is a key hole bit in my book. That said, I should send you the info on making a jig for doing that.
