PVC sap bag holder

[Steviep]

Looking for a good way to do the key hole in the pvc pipe sap bag holders plus a good way to cut the groove for the zip tie with out cutting my handoff on the table saw

I’ve made 1000’s of them and only had a few go flying off the tablesaw. Set up a jig/fence to run them against. I use a stacked dato for that. The keyhole I first cut the smaller top section with a 5/8” bit then use a ceramic tile hole saw for the lower section

Do you have any pictures how you did this or of your jig

I just made some this year. Drill two holes close together and file or roto zip in between. I used a router table with a 1/4" bit for the groove.

For the zip tie part, I cut a 1/2" section of tube, split it, then glue it onto the bottom of the holder.

For the key hole, I used a drill press. Cut the small hole first then offset and cut the bigger hole.
