The CMT Classical Ogee Bit with Bearing elevates the traditional Roman ogee profile by adding a horizontal bead that brings additional style and elegance to furniture and cabinet edges. With a 1 11/16" cutting diameter, a 3/4" cutting height, and a 1/4" radius, this 2-flute carbide-tipped router bit is engineered for right-hand rotation and accepts a 1/4" shank - making it compatible with a wide range of handheld routers and router tables. Whether you are shaping solid hardwood furniture frames, adding decorative profiles to cabinet doors, or crafting trim details in softwood or sheet goods, this bit delivers the clean, consistent results that fine woodworking demands.

Key Features

• Classical Ogee Profile with Horizontal Bead - goes beyond the standard Roman ogee by incorporating a horizontal bead, adding visual depth and elegance to furniture edges and cabinet work.
• Carbide-Tipped (HW) Cutting Edges - hard carbide tips maintain a sharp edge through demanding cuts in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, reducing the need for frequent resharpening.
• Bearing Guide - the integrated bearing controls cutting depth and follows the workpiece edge consistently, making it easier to produce uniform profiles without a fence on a handheld router or router table.
• 2-Flute Design - two cutting edges balance feed rate and surface finish quality, helping to produce smoother profiles with less tearout on both solid wood and composite materials.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation matches the spindle direction of virtually all handheld routers and router tables, so the bit installs and runs without any special configuration.
• 1/4" Shank - the 1/4" shank fits the most widely used router collet size, providing broad compatibility across compact and full-size routers alike.
• Multiple-Pass Recommendation - achieving the full classical ogee profile in multiple passes reduces cutting stress on the bit and workpiece, resulting in cleaner edges and extended bit life.

Why This Product

• The addition of a horizontal bead to the classic ogee shape means a single bit produces a more decorative, multi-element profile in one setup - ideal for furniture makers and cabinet builders who want refined, traditional detailing without multiple bit changes.
• The integrated bearing guide makes this bit practical for freehand edge routing as well as router table work, giving woodworkers flexibility in how they approach a project without sacrificing profile consistency.
• The 1/4" shank makes this bit accessible to woodworkers using compact or trim routers alongside full-size machines, broadening the range of setups where it can be put to work.
• CMT rates this bit for use across solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic - a wide material range that makes it a dependable choice for both furniture and shop cabinet applications.
