Setup the router for a Keyhole bit tonight - need a quick slot.
Handy little suckers.
Had to remember the technique:
Stop blocks at beginning and end
Plain straight fence
Start router with workpiece positioned over router bit.
Plunge cut with workpiece at the right stop block,
slide (use stop blocks) to the left (normal grooving direction)
Return to original location of plunge cut (slide to the right).
Turn off router
Lift carefully off bit.
If you don't return to the original location, then the bit will be pretty much buried in the cut and impossible to get out as it won't want to slide.
