The CMT Ovolo Bit (827.095.11) is a precision-ground, carbide-tipped router bit engineered to produce elegant convex quarter-round profiles with fillets - the hallmark of traditional furniture joinery and classical cabinet edgework. With a 1 1/4" cutting diameter, 5/8" cutting height, and a generous 3/8" radius, this two-flute bit gives woodworkers the versatility to create beautiful beadwork, roundovers, and vein profiles from a single tool. Whether you are working on furniture edges, decorative moldings, or architectural millwork, the CMT ovolo bit delivers refined results across solid hardwood, softwood, sheet goods, and composite panel materials.

Key Features

• Multi-profile versatility in one bit - by adjusting cutting height or depth, this single ovolo bit produces a wide variety of single and double bead profiles and roundovers, reducing the need to swap bits mid-project and saving setup time.
• 2-flute carbide-tipped (HW) cutting edges - industrial-grade hard metal carbide produces cleaner cuts with less tearout, extending edge life and reducing the frequency of resharpening compared to high-speed steel alternatives.
• 1 4/" shank - compatible with a broad range of handheld routers and router tables that accept 1/4" collets, making this bit accessible for both hobbyists and professional woodworkers without requiring a dedicated 1/2" machine.
• Right-hand rotation - matches the standard cutting direction of virtually all handheld and table-mounted routers, ensuring safe, predictable operation right out of the box.
• Compatible with automated router systems and fence-guided setups - the bit performs reliably on CNC routing machines as well as manual router tables with a fence, giving professionals and hobbyists alike the flexibility to work in their preferred setup.
• 3/8" radius profile - delivers the proportionally balanced ovolo curve that has defined classical furniture and cabinetry for centuries, making it ideal for period-style reproduction work and fine furniture making.

Why This Product

• One bit, many profiles - the CMT ovolo bit replaces several specialized profile bits by allowing the user to shift cutting height and depth to produce single beads, double beads, roundovers, and vein details, making it a cost-effective addition to any router bit collection.
• Built for furniture makers and finish woodworkers - the 3/8" radius and 5/8" cutting height are sized specifically for the decorative edgework seen on furniture legs, drawer fronts, door frames, and raised panel edges where profile quality directly affects the finished appearance.
• Works across machine types - from handheld routers to CNC routing machines to fence-guided router tables, this bit adapts to whatever setup the woodworker already has, eliminating the need to invest in dedicated machinery for ovolo profiling.
• 2-flute geometry for consistent surface quality - the two cutting edges balance chip load evenly around the bit, contributing to a smoother finished surface on both solid wood and composite panels with minimal sanding required after routing.
