CMT Ovolo Router Bit - 2 1/2" Diameter, 1" Radius, 1/2" Shank by CMT is a professional-grade ovolo profiling bit designed for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers who demand clean, repeatable convex edge profiles. With a full 1" radius and a large 2 1/2" cutting diameter, this bit is engineered to produce classic ovolo shapes, beadwork, single and double bead profiles, and elegant roundovers in a single pass or with adjusted cutting height. Use it on a handheld router with a fence, on a router table, or on automated CNC routing systems for versatile profile work across hardwood, softwood, and composite panel materials.

Key Features

• Ovolo Profile Versatility - by adjusting the height or depth of cut, this single bit produces a wide variety of single bead, double bead, and roundover profiles, reducing the need to swap out multiple bits mid-project.
• 2 1/2" Cutting Diameter with 1" Radius - the large profile capacity allows full ovolo, beadwork, and decorative edge details in solid hardwood and softwood furniture components without multiple passes.
• 1 5/16" Cutting Height - provides generous material engagement, allowing deep edge profiles suitable for substantial workpieces and thick stock commonly found in furniture and cabinet construction.
• HW Carbide Material (Industrial-Grade Carbide Teeth) - carbide cutting edges stay sharp longer through dense hardwood and abrasive composites, extending tool life and maintaining clean cut quality over repeated use.
• 2-Flute (2-Tooth) Design - dual cutting edges deliver balanced, smooth cuts that reduce vibration and produce a finer surface finish, minimizing sanding and cleanup time after profiling.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with the vast majority of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, ensuring broad machine compatibility.
• 1/2" Shank - the heavy-duty 1/2" shank provides maximum rigidity and reduced deflection during large-diameter profile cuts, improving cut accuracy and operator safety.
• Fence and Automated System Compatible - designed to work with a fence or on automated router systems, giving production shops and hobbyists alike the flexibility to repeat consistent profiles across large batches of workpieces.

Why This Product

• One bit, many profiles - the ovolo design combined with adjustable cutting height means a single CMT 827.754.11 can replace several profile bits in your collection, saving cost and setup time when creating beads, veins, and roundovers on furniture edges.
• Engineered for serious furniture and cabinet work - the 2 1/2" diameter and 1" radius are sized specifically for the scale of traditional furniture profiles, giving cabinetmakers and finish carpenters the proportional detail that smaller bits cannot achieve.
• Reliable performance on CNC and production setups - designed for use on automated router systems, this bit integrates into production workflows where consistency across multiple identical parts is critical.
• Carbide construction for long-term value - HW-grade carbide teeth maintain a sharp cutting edge through extended use in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and other materials, reducing the frequency and cost of bit replacement.
