The CMT Classical Ogee Bit with Bearing elevates the traditional Roman ogee profile by incorporating a horizontal bead that adds style and elegance to furniture edges, cabinet faces, and decorative woodworking trim. With a 1-11/16 in. cutting diameter, a 3/4 in. cutting height, and a 1/4 in. radius, this 2-flute carbide-tipped bit delivers refined classical ogee profiles in solid hardwoods, softwoods, sheet goods, and more. The included bearing guide keeps cuts consistent and on-line whether you are working freehand with a handheld router or running stock through a router table setup.

Key Features

• Classical Ogee Profile with Horizontal Bead - takes the standard Roman ogee a step further by adding a horizontal bead element, producing a more detailed and elegant edge that enhances the appearance of furniture and cabinetry.
• 1-11/16 in. Cutting Diameter x 3/4 in. Cutting Height - generous cutting geometry allows the full classical ogee profile to be formed on standard-thickness stock edges in a single setup.
• 1/4 in. Radius - delivers a refined, proportional curve that is well-suited to traditional furniture edges and classical cabinet work.
• 1/2 in. Shank - the large-diameter shank provides reduced vibration and improved rigidity compared to smaller shanks, resulting in smoother cuts and more consistent profiles.
• 2-Flute Carbide-Tipped (HW) Construction - industrial-grade hard metal (HW) carbide tips stay sharp through extended use in hardwood and softwood applications, reducing downtime between sharpenings.
• Bearing Guide Included - the pilot bearing registers against the workpiece edge to control bit depth and produce repeatable profiles without the need for a fence, making freehand routing more reliable and accurate.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with the vast majority of handheld routers and router tables, ensuring broad machine compatibility.
• Multiple Passes Recommended - routing in progressive passes rather than a single full-depth cut reduces stress on the bit and the workpiece, producing cleaner edges with less tearout in demanding hardwoods.

Why This Product

• The addition of a horizontal bead to the classical ogee profile means furniture makers and cabinetmakers get a more decorative, layered edge detail than a standard Roman ogee bit provides - without needing a second bit or a second pass with a different profile.
• With a 1/2 in. shank and 2-flute carbide-tipped construction, this bit is engineered for stability and longevity in hardwood edge profiling, where bit flex and premature dulling are common concerns with lighter-duty bits.
• The integrated bearing guide makes this bit equally practical at a router table or in a handheld router, giving woodworkers flexibility in how they approach edge profiling on cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and table edges.
• At 2-21/32 in. total length with a 1-11/16 in. diameter, the bit geometry is proportioned to produce a full, balanced classical ogee profile on typical furniture and cabinet stock thicknesses in a controlled, progressive routing process.
