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.
