CMT Classical Ogee Bit with Bearing - 1-3/8" Diameter, 47/64" Cutting Height, 1/4" Shank is a precision router bit engineered by CMT for creating elegant inverted ogee decorative edge profiles on wood and wood-composite workpieces. This 2-flute, right-hand rotation bit features a vertical bead detail that separates the curves of the ogee profile, adding a refined decorative accent to furniture edges, cabinet doors, and traditional millwork. With a 1/4" shank and a hardwood-grade tungsten carbide cutting head, this classical ogee router bit is compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines - delivering clean, professional results on solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, and engineered panels alike.

Key Features

• Inverted Ogee Profile with Vertical Bead Detail - the concave edge is positioned adjacent to the upper surface of the workpiece, and a vertical bead separates the curves, producing an attractive classical decorative detail that elevates furniture and cabinetry aesthetics.
• Hardwood (HW) Tungsten Carbide Cutting Material - industrial-grade carbide resists heat and wear during routing, extending cutting life across repeated passes on solid wood, plywood, MDF, and composite panels.
• 2-Flute Design (Z=2) - dual cutting edges produce a balanced cut, reducing vibration and helping achieve a smoother finished surface on decorative profiles.
• Ball-Bearing Pilot Guide - the integrated bearing rides along the workpiece edge to maintain a consistent cutting depth and profile width, eliminating the need for a fence on handheld routing applications.
• Right-Hand Rotation - engineered for standard right-hand router spindles found on the vast majority of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC machines, ensuring broad tool compatibility.
• 1/4" Shank - fits widely available 1/4" router collets, making this bit accessible for compact routers and trim routers in addition to full-size router tables.
• Multiple-Pass Technique Recommended - the ogee profile geometry rewards incremental depth adjustments, allowing the operator to achieve a clean, tear-free decorative edge even in challenging grain orientations.

Why This Product

• The inverted ogee profile with a built-in vertical bead separation adds visual complexity to a single routing operation - ideal for woodworkers producing traditional furniture edges, classic cabinet door profiles, or decorative trim work without a secondary setup.
• The integrated ball-bearing guide ensures the profile tracks consistently along curved or straight workpiece edges, reducing layout time and the risk of inconsistent depth cuts when working freehand with a handheld router.
• The 1/4" shank makes this classical ogee bit compatible with trim routers and compact router tables, giving smaller-shop woodworkers access to a professional decorative profile without requiring a large 1/2" shank router.
• Hardwood-grade tungsten carbide cutting material is selected for durability in solid hardwood and engineered panel applications, reducing the frequency of bit changes during longer production runs or repetitive edge profiling tasks.
