A Keyhole router bit is used with a plunge router to create a screw hanging slot in the back of a picture frame or small cabinet. Plunge into the workpiece, then slide the router towards the top of the frame to create a groove with an undercut. A keyhole router bit also functions well as a small T-Slot bit.

About Whiteside
Whiteside Machine Company was founded in 1970 in Bill Whiteside’s basement where he supplied tooling to NC’s huge furniture making industry. Whiteside is still family-owned but has now grown to occupy a 40,000 square foot factory in Claremont, NC.
Whiteside offers a full range of router bits. Their rigid quality control and precision manufacturing techniques have repeatedly resulted in highest ratings in Fine Woodworkingmagazine tool reviews.
In the years that we’ve sold Whiteside router bits, we’ve experienced the company’s commitment to excellent quality and superb customer service. We think you’ll be pleased each time you use these fine tools in your shop.
