This t-slot Router bit cuts slots for standard 1/4 in. bolts that have a 7/16 in. W x 3/16 in. H heads with up to 1/4 in. shaft diameter. The shank is 1/4 in. in Dia. T-slot router bits are great for creating T-channels for jig and clamp applications and keyholes for hanging projects. It is recommended that a straight groove, matching width to the upper part of the T, be cut into the work piece prior to routing the T-slot to reduce the stress on the bit. T-slot cuts produce a lot of wood chips with little room for them to escape and can cause the bit to get bogged down. Go easy on the feed and back off every couple of in. before resuming with the cut.
- Create t slots for custom jigs and hold-downs or for picture frame keyhole hanging
- Premium C3 micro-grain tungsten carbide blades for a sharper and longer lasting edge
- For use on table mount and handheld router
- Silver induction brazing for maximum strength and durability
- Manufactured with anti-kickback design to help prevent workshop mishaps

I used the bit to make T-slots in a table saw jig I was making. It did the job I needed and worked great.

I have only used it once so far. Cut a slot in 2 pieces of poplar 8 inches long, bit came out black but still sharp not sure of why it is discolored; but I suppose it is from heat. Feed speed was pretty slow. It is still sharp and usable so we will see how it goes down the road. Thinking about cutting a quarter inch slot first then cutting just the slot portion. This should help.
