Alrighty. I'm positive that answering his ridiculously basic questions
isn't helping him to think for himself, nor to solve problems. How's
that?
I understand everyone was a beginner at some point. I also understand
that at some point a usually accomodating, kind soul has said to each
and everyone of us, "Geez! Will you quit asking so many questions?!
Open a book."

Exactly.
I was thinking of having tunafish on rye with some lettuce for lunch.
Would that go better with ice tea or iced coffee? Does it matter if
it's served on a plastic or wooden tray? Should I put the lettuce on
one piece of bread and the tunafish on the other, or should I put the
lettuce on top of the tunafish? ;)

Would be good for making keyholes.

It shows an ability to troll and get a few bites. Jeez,
a keyhole cutter is for cutting keyholes.

Maybe, but arguably not in lieu of doing a little reading and research
on one's own.

Well, (apparently) they come in different sizes. I have one that cuts very
nice T-tracks. Quarter-inch hexhead bolts fit okay, but toilet bolts fit
perfectly in the slot. The tolerance for a stand hex head is very sloppy,
and it can "spin" in the slot. That said, lifting slightly on the
tightening knob while tightening is the obvious solution.
I was initially worried about the wooden flanges breaking, until I
considered the actually mechanics of a T-Track. Actually the bolt head and
the tightening nut, clamp on both sides of the flanges, and usually, very
little lateral pressure is actually exerted on the flanges. I've used it on
a couple of different applications without any problems.
The length of the slotted track is infinitely variable, and there is not the
problem of drilling and countersinking extra holes for the hold-down screws.
And there's several feet of blessedly expensive T-Track I haven't bought
<Grin> And T-track can be hard to obtain outside some wood specialty
shops.
The keyhole cutter method does offer some advantages over the extruded
aluminum tracks. The depth of the cut is adjustable, for one. Installing
the aluminum track usually necessitates a pretty precise depth for the
router bit.
On the down side, I wouldn't attempt it in an unsurfaced piece of particle
board, although I have used it with success in Formica surfaced particle
board. I don't think an unlined keyhole slot is structurally as strong as
the aluminum track, so I could see potential problem with certain hold-down
clamps. (However, there is no problem with featherboards).
IF you rip out a keyhole cut T-slot, the whole tabletop or guide fence
(whatever) would probably have to be replaced, where as with the aluminum
slot, it could be moved slightly or new holds drilled and the slot could be
re-attached.
Just some food for thought.
Oh, BTW, you can cut keyholes with them.

This person sure asks some very basic questions. I think it shows a lack of
ability to visualze, and think things though. Which would explain a lot, like
no knowing how to use Google, and not knowing what a "key hole cutter" would
do.

You plunge the cutter into the back board and move it in a line towards the
top of the item.
You can now hang the item on the wall from a screw. You put the big hole
over the screw, push it to the wall, then allow item to drop. This way it
does not slip off the screw head.
Grizzly describes them as, "Used for wall mounting clocks, pictures and
other hanging items. Also used for T-slots."

I do right the same right now. Aside from never looking anything up
himself, he also LOVES to retransmit rumors.
My latest solution is to continually email him links to Google,
Snopes, Yellow Pages, etc... <G>
He's just _starting_ to get the hint after about 6 months of doing
so.

I guess that because I've learned so much in newsgroups and appreciate it so
much, that I look at it differently..
What I TRY to do is answer if I can help and ignore it if I can't or don't think
the OP is serious...
What usually happens is that my natural smart ass side pops up and I can't help
typing some "maybe funny but not any help" kind of comment, which IMO is at
least as bad as flaming th OP.. YMWV

Would have been simple enough to look on almost any tool website like Lee
Valley Tools to get a good visualization of what such a cutter can do.

I worked with a guy who would always ask me rather than look in a book.
Some things he asked me over and over. I pointed out that things he found
out for himself he remembered far better than the answers he got from me.
