How to Use a Keyhole Router Bit
George VondriskaDescription
Some things to be careful about when cutting slots:
Bit height. You need to be sure that you do not go too shallow, and leave behind a fragile wall, or too deep and require too much extension of the fastener out of the wall.
Feed rate. You will feed at a slow, controlled rate so that you leave behind a smooth and straight surface. If you go too fast and the slot wanders, it could make it difficult to accurately position the workpiece on the wall when you hang it.
Plunge and lift. These are the most critical steps in the process, and you will need to be sure that you are moving the workpiece straight up and down as you are learning how to use a keyhole router bit.
