KOWOOD Keyhole Router Set with 2 Shank Pieces Review

Tried them yesterday and they worked great. I installed them on my 45 year old Montgomery Wards router and they cut like butter. Very sharp, would buy again

I needed to make a slotted rail for the drawer system. This, combined with the 80/20 latch, holds the drawer slides in place. I always do the groove first, then the spline bit. It works well.

I created a jig, attached it to the workpiece, and then lowered it and pulled it forward about a half inch to create the keyway. After cleaning sawdust, the keyhole looks great.

This is the perfect solution, I use it in my Bosch plunge router and can quickly add a hanging slot. The router cuts cleanly and quickly without sticking. I've had it for about 3 months now and I've used it a few times, it's still sharp after cutting some very hard wood from northerners. I have attached a photo of my test piece, I…
