The CMT Ovolo Router Bit (827.690.11) is a precision-ground, carbide-tipped edge-profiling bit engineered for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers who demand versatility and clean, repeatable results. With a 2" cutting diameter, 1" cutting height, and 1/2" shank, this right-hand rotation bit lets you produce a wide range of classic convex profiles - from single and double beads to elegant roundovers and fillets - simply by adjusting the height or depth of cut. Whether you are running it on a handheld router, a router table, or an automated CNC routing system, this ovolo bit delivers the consistent profile quality that traditional and contemporary furniture work requires.

Key Features

• Versatile Ovolo Profile Geometry - a single bit replaces several specialized profile bits, letting you dial in bead work, edge work, and vein profiles by adjusting cut height or depth, reducing tool changes and setup time.
• 2" Cutting Diameter x 1" Cutting Height - a generous cutting envelope allows you to produce both single and double bead profiles as well as roundovers in one pass or in staged passes, adding flexibility for varied furniture and cabinet edge applications.
• 1/2" Shank - the full 1/2" shank provides maximum grip and stability in the collet, reducing vibration and helping maintain profile accuracy at higher feed rates.
• 2-Flute HW Carbide Construction - two hardwood-grade (HW) carbide teeth deliver clean shearing cuts through solid hardwoods, softwoods, sheet goods, and composites while extending edge life between sharpenings.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with the full range of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, making this bit a drop-in choice for most existing setups.
• Automated Router System Compatible - designed for use with fences and automated routing systems, supporting high-volume or production-level runs without sacrificing profile consistency.

Why This Product

• One bit - multiple profiles: by simply raising or lowering the bit or adjusting depth of cut, woodworkers can generate a wide variety of single bead, double bead, roundover, and classical ovolo profiles, reducing the number of individual bits needed in a shop kit.
• Built for furniture makers: the ovolo profile is a hallmark of traditional and transitional furniture design, and this bit's 1" cutting height gives enough range to work across a variety of stock thicknesses common in furniture and cabinet construction.
• Production and CNC ready: compatibility with automated router systems and use with a fence means this bit moves seamlessly from hand-routed one-off pieces to repeatable production runs on CNC equipment.
• 2-flute HW carbide cutting edges maintain sharpness longer through dense materials, meaning fewer interruptions for bit changes or resharpening during extended furniture or cabinet shop sessions.
