The CMT Ovolo Bit - 1 1/4" x 5/8", 3/8" Radius, 1/2" Shank is a precision-ground carbide-tipped router bit engineered for furniture makers and woodworkers who need versatile edge profiling in a single tool. Designed to cut beautiful bead, ovolo, and roundover profiles on solid hardwood, softwood, and sheet goods, this bit eliminates the need to swap between multiple cutters when working through a range of decorative edge treatments. By adjusting the height or depth of cut - whether on a handheld router, router table, or automated routing system - you can produce single and double bead profiles, classic ovolo shapes, and smooth roundovers with consistent, repeatable results.

Key Features

• Ovolo Profile Versatility - a single bit replaces several dedicated profile cutters, letting you dial in beadwork, edgework, veins, single beads, double beads, and roundovers simply by raising or lowering the bit height, saving time and tool-change interruptions.
• 1 1/4" Cutting Diameter x 5/8" Cutting Height - generous material engagement allows you to shape substantial edge profiles in a single pass on furniture frames, cabinet doors, and solid-wood panels.
• 3/8" Radius - produces a classical convex quarter-round bead that is a hallmark of traditional and period furniture styling, giving edges a refined, hand-crafted appearance.
• 1/2" Shank - the full 1/2" shank provides a secure, vibration-dampening grip in router collets, reducing chatter and helping maintain profile accuracy on long edge runs.
• 2-Flute (2-Tooth) Carbide Construction (HW - Hard Metal Carbide) - two precisely ground carbide cutting edges deliver a smooth, consistent finish on hardwood and softwood alike while providing the durability needed for production use.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with the vast majority of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing systems, making this bit a practical drop-in choice for most workshop setups.
• 2 1/8" Total Length - a compact overall length keeps the bit balanced and reduces runout, contributing to cleaner cuts and longer bearing and collet life.
• Fence or Bearing Compatible - use with a fence or an automated router system to maintain consistent cut depth across long workpieces without drift or wandering.

Why This Product

• Furniture makers who regularly switch between bead, roundover, and ovolo profiles gain a real workflow advantage - this one bit covers the full range of those profiles by simply adjusting cut height, cutting down on bit changes and setup time.
• The 3/8" radius and 5/8" cutting height are sized specifically for the scale of furniture edges, cabinet faces, and decorative molding work where a classical ovolo bead is the most commonly called-for detail.
• With a 1/2" shank and two hard-metal carbide flutes, this bit is built to handle repeated production runs on hardwood species without the vibration or premature wear that smaller or lesser-grade bits can introduce.
• Right-hand rotation and a 1/2" shank make this bit universally compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, so it moves easily from bench to production table without any adapter or special collet.
