Product Description
The CMT Classical Ogee Bit with Bearing - 1-3/8" Diameter x 47/64" Cutting Height, 1/4" Shank by CMT is a precision router bit engineered to produce the classic ogee edge profile with an added horizontal bead along the bottom of the profile - delivering a refined decorative detail that elevates the traditional ogee design. Ideal for furniture edges, cabinet doors, and decorative woodworking trim, this carbide-tipped bit is compatible with handheld routers and router tables alike, making it a versatile choice for both shop and jobsite use.
Key Features
- Classical Ogee Profile with Horizontal Bead - the horizontal bead along the bottom of the profile adds a distinctive decorative detail to the traditional ogee design, giving finished edges a more refined, layered appearance.
- Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tips (HW Material) - hard-wearing carbide edges maintain sharpness through repeated cuts in solid hardwood and other dense materials, reducing the need for frequent sharpening or replacement.
- Ball-Bearing Pilot Guide - the integrated bearing follows the workpiece edge for consistent depth of cut and smooth tracking, helping produce repeatable profiles without the need for fences on curved or straight edges.
- 2-Flute Design - dual cutting edges balance chip removal and surface quality, producing cleaner finished profiles with less tearout on each pass.
- Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with the vast majority of routers and router table setups, ensuring straightforward installation and use.
- 1/4" Shank - the 1/4" shank fits a wide range of collets on both fixed-base and plunge routers, making this bit accessible for hobbyist and professional setups alike.
- Multiple-Pass Technique Recommended - running multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut reduces stress on the bit and workpiece, resulting in smoother profiles and longer bit life.
Why This Product
- The horizontal bead detail built into the profile sets this classical ogee bit apart from standard ogee designs, allowing woodworkers to achieve a more ornate, furniture-quality edge in a single router bit setup.
- The 1/4" shank makes this bit widely compatible with compact and mid-size routers - no need for a heavy-duty 1/2" collet machine to run this profile, lowering the barrier to entry for detailed decorative work.
- The carbide (HW) cutting material paired with a 2-flute geometry is well suited to demanding materials like solid hardwood, where edge quality and bit longevity both matter on high-visibility furniture or cabinetry surfaces.
- At a 1-3/8" cutting diameter and 47/64" cutting height, this bit produces a proportionate ogee profile suited to standard-thickness stock, making it a practical go-to for traditional furniture edges and decorative trim applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a "classical" ogee bit compared to a standard ogee bit?
This classical ogee profile includes a horizontal bead along the bottom of the profile. This extra decorative detail adds a layered look to the traditional ogee curve, producing a more ornate finished edge that suits formal furniture and cabinetry work.
Is this bit compatible with a handheld router, or does it require a router table?
This bit works with both handheld routers and router tables. Its 1/4" shank fits standard collets on a wide range of router models. For best results, multiple passes are recommended regardless of setup, which is especially manageable on a router table where depth adjustments are straightforward.
Why are multiple passes recommended when using this bit?
Running multiple shallow passes rather than cutting the full profile depth in one pass reduces strain on the bit and the workpiece. This approach helps produce a cleaner, smoother ogee profile and extends the working life of the carbide cutting edges - particularly important when routing harder species of solid wood.
What is the cutting diameter and height of this bit, and what stock thickness does it suit?
The bit has a cutting diameter of 1-3/8" and a cutting height of 47/64". These dimensions produce a proportionate ogee profile well suited to standard-thickness lumber and panel stock commonly used in furniture construction and decorative trim applications.
