The CMT Ovolo Router Bit (827.627.11) is a precision-ground, carbide-tipped edge-profiling bit designed to produce classic convex quarter-round profiles with elegant fillets - the hallmark of traditional furniture, cabinetry, and millwork. With a 1/2 in. radius, a 1 1/2 in. outer diameter, and a 3/4 in. cutting height, this two-flute right-hand rotation bit handles a wide variety of single and double bead profiles, roundovers, veins, and decorative edgework when used on a router table with a fence or on an automated routing system. CMT's ovolo bits consolidate the work of several different profiles into one versatile tool, making this an essential addition to any furniture maker's or cabinetmaker's collection.

Key Features

• HW (Carbide) Cutting Material - hard tungsten carbide edges stay sharp longer through repeated cuts in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and composite sheet goods, reducing downtime and resharpening costs.
• Two-Flute Design - dual cutting edges produce a smoother, cleaner profile on each pass, meaning less sanding and finishing time after routing.
• 1/2 in. Carbide Radius - delivers a full, flowing convex quarter-round with crisp fillet transitions, ideal for classical furniture edges, beadwork, and decorative moulding profiles.
• Right-Hand Rotation (RH) - compatible with standard router collets and router table setups, so no special tooling or spindle adapters are required.
• 1/2 in. Shank Diameter - the large shank provides maximum rigidity in the collet, reducing vibration and bit deflection for truer, more consistent profiles on long runs.
• Versatile Height and Depth Adjustability - by simply raising or lowering the bit relative to a fence or bearing guide, a single bit produces a wide range of single-bead, double-bead, and roundover profiles without a bit change.
• Compatible with Automated Router Systems - designed for use on CNC and automated router systems as well as handheld and table-mounted routers, giving production shops and hobbyists the same professional-quality results.

Why This Product

• For furniture makers who need flexible profiling options without a large bit collection, this ovolo bit replaces multiple individual profile bits - adjust cutting height or depth to produce single beads, double beads, roundovers, veins, and classical edge treatments from one tool.
• The 3/4 in. cutting height combined with a 1/2 in. radius gives enough vertical travel to dial in different profile depths, making it well-suited to furniture components of varying thickness and style requirements.
• A 1/2 in. shank is the preferred choice for router table use and CNC routing because it maximizes grip strength in the collet, keeps the bit stable at higher feed rates, and reduces the chance of bit pull-out during long production runs.
• With a 1 1/2 in. outer diameter and a 2 1/4 in. total length, this bit has the mass and geometry to take confident full-profile passes in solid hardwood species while remaining manageable for detail edgework on smaller cabinet parts.
