I like to use my tablesaw for machining off keytops and keyfronts with one jig. I added pictures if they came through. Before even beginning to remove any key material it is very important to make sure your blade is absolutely perpendicular with your mitre slots. If not you will get key burning on the back side, and uneven machining. As previously stated, heat and flammable dust: BAD! http://in-lineindustries.com/saw_pals.html This is a very useful tool for such a duty, and very reasonable for the result. The hold-down clamps I use on my jig for locking the key in, and setting a depth stop I bought from e-bay for maybe $12 for a pack of six. Woodcraft or someone else would have such items as well. They make clamping safe, and repeatability a cinch.
