The CMT Contractor Classical Ogee Bit is a precision-crafted router bit designed to produce the timeless classical ogee profile - a combination of concave and convex curves - on furniture edges, cabinet frames, and decorative trim. With a 1 1/8 in. cutting diameter, 1/8 in. radius, and a 1/4 in. shank, this 2-flute carbide bit delivers smooth, eye-catching edge detail on both natural wood and wood-based panel materials. The rust-resistant black coating and bottom bearing guide make it equally at home on a handheld router or mounted in a router table.

Key Features

• Classical Ogee Profile - produces both a concave and a convex curve in a single pass, creating traditional decorative edge detail on furniture, cabinets, and millwork without secondary shaping steps.
• 2 Sharp Cutting Edges - dual carbide (HW) flutes distribute cutting load evenly, resulting in cleaner cuts with less tearout on hardwood, softwood, and engineered panel materials.
• Rust-Resistant Black Coating - protective finish shields the bit body from corrosion, reduces pitch and resin buildup, and helps extend tool life through extended use in shop environments.
• Bottom Bearing Guide - an integrated ball-bearing pilot at the base of the bit allows flush template routing and consistent depth-of-cut control along curved or irregular workpiece edges.
• 1/4 in. Shank - fits a wide range of standard router collets, making this bit compatible with compact trim routers, handheld routers, and benchtop router tables.
• Right-Hand Rotation (RH) - matches the standard rotation direction of virtually all routers, ensuring safe, stable performance without special setup or adapters.
• Hardwood (HW) Carbide Material - industrial-grade carbide cutting edges maintain sharpness through repeated use on dense hardwoods and abrasive composite materials alike.

Why This Product

• The bottom bearing allows the bit to follow templates and curved workpiece edges precisely, making it a reliable choice for furniture makers and cabinet builders who need repeatable ogee profiles on non-straight parts.
• The combination of a rust-resistant coating and hardwood-grade carbide tips means the bit holds up over time in high-use shop conditions - resisting resin buildup that would otherwise dull or gum up a standard bit.
• At a 1 1/8 in. diameter with a 1/2 in. cutting height, this bit is sized to produce a full classical ogee edge profile in a single pass, reducing setup time compared to multi-pass or multi-bit profiling methods.
• The 1/4 in. shank makes this bit accessible to woodworkers using smaller trim routers and compact router tables, not just full-size plunge routers - broadening its practical use across different shop setups.
