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 workpiece 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 inches before resuming with the cut.

This t-slot Router bit cuts slots for standard 3/8" bolts that have a 5/8" wide x 3/16" high heads with up to 3/8" shaft diameter. The shank is 1/4" in diameter.

Bought this several months ago, however did not need it right away. Put the 45 degree miter bit in my router for the first time today and within getting 1/2” into a piece of maple the shaft bent and shot the piece of wood away. The bit continued to wobble in the router until I shut it off. I unplugged my router and was able to turn the bit by hand and see the wobble. Completely unusable. Buy the 1/2 shank. Do not buy 1/4 shank for a bit that is as heavy and large as this.
