Product Description
The CMT Classical Ogee Bit with Bearing elevates the traditional Roman ogee profile by adding a horizontal bead that brings extra style and elegance to furniture and cabinet edges. With a 1-5/16 in. cutting diameter, a 1/2 in. cutting height, and a 5/32 in. radius, this 2-flute router bit is built from hardwood-grade carbide (HW) and mounts on a 1/4 in. shank for use with compact routers, handheld routers, and router tables. Multiple passes are recommended for clean, precise classical ogee profiles in solid wood and wood composites.
Key Features
- Classical Ogee Profile with Horizontal Bead - goes beyond the standard Roman ogee by incorporating a horizontal bead detail, adding decorative sophistication to furniture trim, cabinet doors, and edge treatments.
- 1-5/16 in. Cutting Diameter - produces a wide, prominent profile in a single setup, reducing the number of tool changes needed during a project.
- 1/2 in. Cutting Height - provides enough depth to shape a complete classical ogee edge on typical furniture and cabinetry stock thicknesses.
- 5/32 in. Radius - delivers the precise curvature that defines the classical ogee shape, ensuring consistent, repeatable results across multiple workpieces.
- HW Carbide Cutting Edges - hardwood-grade carbide construction maintains a sharp cutting edge through extended use in solid hardwood, softwood, and wood composites.
- 2-Flute Design, Right-Hand Rotation - dual flutes balance cutting load and improve surface finish quality, while right-hand rotation is compatible with standard router operation.
- 1/4 in. Shank - fits a wide range of compact and full-size routers equipped with a 1/4 in. collet, making this bit accessible and versatile.
- Bearing Guide Included - the integrated bearing registers against the workpiece edge, eliminating the need for a fence on handheld router applications and ensuring a consistent, controlled cut depth.
Why This Product
- The horizontal bead detail sets this classical ogee apart from a basic Roman ogee bit - ideal for woodworkers who want more visual interest and traditional styling on furniture edges and cabinet frames.
- The included bearing guide makes freehand edge routing straightforward, since the bearing rides the workpiece edge and automatically controls the cut - no router table fence setup required.
- With a 1/4 in. shank, this bit works with compact trim routers as well as full-size routers, giving hobbyists and professional woodworkers equal access to the classical ogee profile without needing a large machine.
- The recommendation for multiple passes means cleaner cuts with less tear-out, particularly in hardwoods - a practical design approach that protects both the workpiece and the bit's carbide edges over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Classical Ogee profile differ from a standard Roman ogee?
The classical ogee builds on the Roman ogee shape by adding a horizontal bead element. This extra detail adds style and elegance to the traditional S-curve profile, making it a popular choice for furniture edges, cabinet doors, and decorative trim where a more refined look is desired.
Is this bit compatible with a handheld router or does it require a router table?
This bit is compatible with both handheld routers and router tables. The integrated bearing guide registers against the workpiece edge to control the cut, which makes it particularly well-suited for handheld router use without a fence. For best results and cleaner profiles, multiple passes are recommended regardless of the setup used.
What collet size does my router need to accept this bit?
This bit has a 1/4 in. shank, so your router must be equipped with a 1/4 in. collet. Many compact trim routers and full-size routers include a 1/4 in. collet, making this bit widely compatible across a broad range of machines.
What materials can this classical ogee bit cut effectively?
The hardwood-grade carbide (HW) cutting edges are suited for solid hardwood, softwood, and wood composite materials commonly used in furniture and cabinet construction. Using multiple passes - as recommended - helps achieve the cleanest possible profile and extends cutting edge life across these materials.
