Product Description
CMT Contractor Roman Ogee Bit - a 1 1/2" diameter router bit designed to cut the classic wavy S-curve profile that brings elegant, decorative character to furniture edges, cabinet door frames, and woodworking trim. Built for both handheld routers and router table use, this 2-flute carbide bit features an anti-kickback body, a rust-resistant black coating, and a smooth-running pilot bearing for guided template work. The 1/4" radius produces a refined ogee contour that elevates solid hardwood and softwood projects alike.
Key Features
- Roman Ogee Profile - 1/4" Radius: cuts the signature wavy S-curve edge profile that adds a traditional, decorative touch to furniture, cabinetry, and trim work without requiring custom tooling.
- Anti-Kickback Design: limits the depth of cut and reduces kickback risk during operation, giving you greater control and safer results whether you are routing freehand or on a table.
- Rust-Resistant Black Coating: protects the bit body against corrosion and resin buildup, extending tool life and keeping cuts clean over repeated use.
- Smooth-Running Pilot Bearing: guides the bit consistently along a template or workpiece edge, producing a uniform profile depth every pass without manual adjustment.
- HW (Hardwood) Carbide Cutting Material: tough carbide tips handle solid hardwood and softwood stock with clean, precise cuts and longer edge retention between sharpenings.
- 2-Flute Configuration: dual cutting edges deliver balanced cutting action and a smooth finished surface, reducing tearout on wood grain.
- 1/4" Shank: fits standard 1/4" collet routers - a widely compatible shank size that works with most handheld and table-mounted router setups.
- Right-Hand Rotation: designed for standard right-hand rotation routers, matching the vast majority of handheld and table routers in use today.
Why This Product
- The anti-kickback design makes this bit a practical choice for woodworkers who need consistent, controlled cuts on furniture edges and cabinet doors without sacrificing safety.
- The included pilot bearing removes the guesswork from depth consistency - you get the same 1/4" ogee radius every pass, which is especially useful for production runs or matching profiles across multiple pieces.
- The rust-resistant black coating and hardwood-grade carbide combine to keep the bit in working condition longer, reducing how often you need to resharpen or replace the tool.
- The 1/4" shank and right-hand rotation make this bit compatible with a broad range of router setups, so it integrates easily into an existing workshop without requiring a dedicated router or collet adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profile does this bit produce?
This bit cuts a Roman ogee profile - a classic wavy S-curve edge shape commonly used on furniture, cabinet doors, and decorative trim. The radius of the ogee curve is 1/4".
What shank size does this bit use, and will it fit my router?
This bit has a 1/4" shank, which fits any router equipped with a 1/4" collet. It is compatible with standard handheld routers and router tables that accept a 1/4" collet size.
What is the purpose of the pilot bearing on this bit?
The smooth-running pilot bearing rides along the edge of your workpiece or a template, guiding the bit to maintain a consistent cutting depth. This allows you to produce a uniform ogee profile along the full length of an edge without needing to set a fence or adjust depth manually for each pass.
What does the anti-kickback design do on a router bit?
The anti-kickback design limits how much material the bit can remove in a single pass by controlling the maximum depth of cut. This reduces the risk of the bit grabbing the workpiece unexpectedly, making the cutting operation safer and more controlled, especially when routing hardwood edges.
