The CMT Ovolo Bit 827.127.11 is a precision-ground, carbide-tipped router bit engineered to produce classic convex bead and ovolo profiles on furniture edges, cabinet frames, and decorative woodwork. With a 1 1/2 in. cutting diameter, a 1/2 in. radius, and a 3/4 in. cutting height, this bit gives woodworkers the flexibility to create single and double bead profiles, roundovers, and veins simply by adjusting the height or depth of cut. The compact 1/4 in. shank makes it compatible with a wide range of routers, from handheld units to router tables and automated routing systems.

Key Features

• Ovolo profile versatility - replaces several individual bits by producing beadwork, edgework, veins, and roundover profiles from a single bit, saving setup time and tooling cost.
• 1/2 in. radius cutting geometry - delivers a smooth, symmetrical convex quarter-round with fillet, ideal for traditional furniture and fine cabinetry profiles.
• 1 1/2 in. cutting diameter with 3/4 in. cutting height - provides a generous working surface so profile passes are clean and complete in fewer setups.
• HW (carbide) cutting material - hard tungsten carbide tips stay sharp longer when cutting solid hardwood, softwood, sheet goods, and composite materials, reducing bit changes and downtime.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) configuration - produces a smooth surface finish by distributing cutting load evenly across both edges, minimizing tearout and sanding work.
• Right-hand rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing systems for safe, predictable cutting.
• 1/4 in. shank - fits a wide variety of compact and standard routers, giving this bit broad compatibility across tool brands and models.
• 2 in. total length - a compact overall profile that keeps the bit stable in the collet and reduces vibration during the cut.
• Adjustable depth and height of cut - when used with a fence or automated router system, changing the cut depth produces a wide variety of single and double bead profiles without swapping bits.

Why This Product

• One bit, many profiles - CMT designed this ovolo bit to consolidate the work of several different bits into one tool, making it an efficient and cost-effective choice for furniture makers and cabinetry professionals who need versatile edge profiling options.
• Fence and CNC compatible - the bit is suited for use with a fence or on automated router systems, giving shop operators the ability to dial in repeatable profile variations without changing tooling.
• Carbide construction for lasting performance - HW carbide tips hold an edge through dense hardwoods and composites, so the bit maintains profile accuracy over extended production runs.
• Compact shank for broad compatibility - the 1/4 in. shank opens this bit up to a wide range of router models, making it a practical addition to both hobbyist shops and professional production environments.
