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 the Key slot bit for putting hanging slots on the back of a single piece of shelving that is about 12" wide on the wall and protrudes out 4". It was easy enough to use with a homemade jig for getting the dimensions of the slots exact, but the beauty of it is you don't really need to get them exact as long as they are close because the slots are very forgiving when you hang your project up. Glad I made the purchase.

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.
