David, I use a router table and straight bit as described by Bill Spurlock. It makes the cut perfectly but you have to feed the key very slowly on certain keys (I think, Bs and Es) where the router wants to tear a chunk out of the keytop if the feed is too fast. The router bit leaves a slight burr so I use a file to dress the edges and the inside corner of the notch. Tom Cole David Ilvedson wrote: >List, > >How are you who do keytops making the notch cut?
