Questions & Answers
Can this tool be used for creating a mounting location or cabinet door hardware so that the cabinet door can be mounted to the cabinet?
Hi Mark. Yes this bit can be used for cutting shallow mortises/recesses for cabinet door hardware. The mortises can not be deeper than 5/16" for this bit.
Will this cut the new IKEA keyhole for HAVSTA cabinets? The male insert piece looks like two washers with about 1/4" between them.
Which size hex key do I need to loosen the bearing?
This bit does not use a hex key. The bearing is not designed to be removed or loosened.
What is the maximum shoulder height you can get with this bit?
Hi Macron, thanks for reaching out! The 25/64 in. Carbide Specialty Key Hole Bit has a total cutting length of 7/16”. The wider groove uses ¼” of this length, so the shoulder thickness can be up to 3/16”.
Need to work with corian
Thank you for sending your question in! The 25/64 in. Carbide Specialty Key Hole Bit is not an ideal choice for Corian, due to the density of the material.
Although IV not used it on corian I don't think there would be an issue with it. I would start slow if your router has a speed control.I'd think a possibility that if to fast the heat could melt the shavings could try and light spray with water as you do it would help.
will this fit on a router that has a 1/4'' collet?
Yes
yes
Hi Rosie! Yes, the 25/64 in. Carbide Specialty Key Hole Bit has a ¼” shank and is designed to use in ¼” collets.
Yes it will fit a 1/4 " collet.
Yes it will if you buy a 1/4 inch shank router bit.
Yes it is a 1/4 shank
Can this be used on plexiglass?
I would think it would if you take it slow and steady
Hi Mike! The Carbide Straight Router Bit can be used to rout Plexiglas, but you will need to take very shallow passes (not more than 1/8” deep per pass). Please make sure to make some test cuts in scrap material to determine the best feed rate to obtain the quality of finish you desire.
Yes - just go slow and wear a mask. I've cut plexiglass with a variety of these bits and it worked well
Will this cut brick?
I have zero experience with this bit. I have experience cutting brick. It will cut brick, for a short time. If you can keep a stream of water on the bit and flooding the workpiece, it will work much better. Also depends on the hardness and ceramic make-up of the brick. Bricks are made of a variety of minerals and baked to a variety of hardnesses. But really, you would want a diamond bit to cut into bricks. A water jet might even work better. Chisel and hammer might be your best bet for small scale work.
It might, but it wouldnt last very long! Its for wood. Try some diamond burr bits for a dremel or grinder if you want to etch stone or brick
