ARDEN Keyhole Hook Slot Bit

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. Makes a 9.5-10mm entry hole and blind slot for positive hanging on a headed fastener. 

Adam's Tips

Rout two or more horizontal slots for larger hangings.

NOTE ON TRANSITIONING TO ARDEN

You might have noticed that each router bit profile shows both Arden and Hero. Truth is that they are the same company and the only difference is the colour and name. Until all Hero stock has been exhausted, we will be supplying one or the other or both.
