The CMT Classical Ogee Bit with Bearing elevates the classic Roman ogee profile by adding a horizontal bead that brings additional style and elegance to furniture edges, cabinet frames, and decorative woodworking. 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 delivers refined, consistent classical ogee profiles in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and more. The included bearing guide keeps cuts accurate and repeatable, whether you are working at a router table, with a handheld router, or on a CNC routing machine.

Key Features

• Classical Ogee Profile with Horizontal Bead - goes beyond the traditional Roman ogee shape by adding a horizontal bead for greater decorative detail, resulting in more stylish and elegant edge profiles on furniture and cabinetry.
• Carbide-Tipped Cutting Edges (HW) - hardmetal carbide tips hold a sharp cutting edge longer than high-speed steel, reducing the frequency of sharpening and keeping cuts clean across a wide range of wood species and sheet goods.
• Integrated Bearing Guide - the bearing rides along the workpiece edge to maintain a consistent cutting depth and profile, eliminating the need for a fence when using a handheld router and improving accuracy at the router table.
• 2-Flute Design - dual carbide cutting edges balance chip load and cutting speed, producing smoother surface finishes and more uniform profiles in a single setup.
• 1/2 in. Shank - the full 1/2 in. shank provides a secure, low-vibration connection in compatible router collets, supporting cleaner cuts and reducing chatter during profiling passes.
• Right-Hand Rotation - designed for standard right-hand rotation routers, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of handheld routers and router tables in common use.
• Multiple Passes Recommended - achieving the full classical ogee profile in multiple lighter passes reduces stress on the bit and the workpiece, resulting in a finer finish and longer bit life.

Why This Product

• The horizontal bead added to the classical ogee profile sets this bit apart from a standard Roman ogee bit, making it well suited for furniture makers and cabinet builders who want additional decorative detail without changing setups.
• The integrated bearing guide allows freehand routing without a fence, giving woodworkers flexibility to work on irregularly shaped or curved workpieces while still maintaining a precise, repeatable profile.
• With a 1/2 in. shank and a 2 in. 27/64 in. total length, this bit is sized for router table work as well as handheld routing, making it a versatile choice for shops that switch between setups.
• The hardmetal carbide construction is suited for use in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminate, melamine, and plastic - covering the full range of materials commonly encountered in furniture and cabinet production.
