How do you stabilize the key?  

I have a similar setup. A drill press vise holds the key and a 3/4" plunge
router
bit in the drill press planes the surface. I also have a clear plastic guard
which 
shields the cutter.  Open blades make me nervous.

On the vise is an indexing stop for the front of the key and then a fence on
the
table stops the forward motion of the vise to insure identical routed lengths.
