Questions & Answers

A 25/64" diameter hole is cut by the 25/64" blade. How tall is it? If I drop this hole into a piece of wood, I want to know how thick it must be to stay in place without popping out. ?

Here are the measurements of my bit. It is "203". The lower slot will be about 3/16" longer than that, so that's 13/64" long.

Can you tell me why the profile does not show a "T" profile? I notice that the Freud provide profile is incorrect (even on the packaging)?

This is a terrible profile to show. I totally agree with you. If the cross section of the cut is located in an appropriate area, this could be the case. For example, if you plunged the bit and moved right immediately. In any case, this does not reflect the entire population.

If this is useful for cutting a shirt, then sure Do you have a track in the wood to use for holding It may be a good idea to use something like the power tech hold downs with T ?

You will be able to use this

Are you wondering if it works for T track slots?

The application has not been used yet for that application Track slots) and, from looking at its design, I don't believe it would.

Selected User Reviews For Freud 25/64" (Dia.) Key Hole Bit with 1/4" Shank (70-104)

A great bit for the price
4/5

For all the keyhole bits within this price range it is among the best. However, it does not have a great ability to cut downwards. You should not let the hole cool before cutting another one. While it will cut the initial hole, you should go slowly and let the hole cool before cutting another one. This was to maximize the use of the forstner bit, so I bought the same size keyhole bit (only about 5 or 6$ on Amazon) first, then I used the hole bit to cut It is much faster to drill one hole after another this way, and my bits last much.

I love how easy it is and what a good deal it is! The woodworkers who regret ruining their frames with their screw heads will certainly be thrilled to know that this great tool makes it easy to hang pictures
5/5

Make a mark on the top dead center of the frame and then apply your router there Surely there is no easier way to do this!.

Exactly what I wanted
5/5

Exactly what I wanted. I don't think the people who smashed it had any idea what router bits are capable of. The trick for me is to take it slow and easy and use my plunge router. The machine has been used to drill about 2 dozen holes since I got it and it has been fine.

Holes with a high degree of accuracy
5/5

We are big fans of Fréud parts, and this one passed the test. Straight, clean cuts are essential for cutting key holes that line up perfectly, and this one does it. If you are going to use this, make sure you make a sturdy jig so it is accurate and aligned every time.

The work is good
4/5

I'm very happy with it. As a new woodworker, I have a lot to learn. It is an actual review from someone who has only used this router a few times. In order to cut keyway holes into a wood plank, I used this tool. The screws I'm using are #10 and they work great. It's got a little play in it that I like to have just in case I don't have my measurements perfectly accurate.

That is exactly what you need to get the job done
5/5

I bought this to hang a more substantial measuring board so that my son and daughter can be measured. With the router set to depth, it is simply a matter of plunging, and routing is done! Here we are! were able to hang the 6ft board without issue. fred has awesome bits! i give him a 5/5.

They are top of the line Freud router bits
5/5

Some router bits may be more useful than others. I have not had a good experience with Freud, so I cannot compare the two. Whenever I need a jolt of inspiration, I turn to Freud. My tools are not stressed enough as a woodworker, and I don't do enough to wear them out. It cuts a very nice, small keyhole with this bit. This machine did a good job of cutting the plunger, then cutting a Customer happy with the purchase. The product is what it says it is.

I am disappointed
3/5

I went down on softwood and broke a bit. The company will buy again in the future, and going slowly will be beneficial. Despite my best efforts, I remain disappointed. Not used it enough to wear down the blades, so I won't know for sure.
