Product Description
The CMT Contractor Ogee with Fillet Bit is a precision carbide-tipped router bit engineered to cut the classic ogee-and-fillet profile - a wavy S-curve topped with a flat step - widely used in traditional furniture edges, cabinet door frames, and decorative millwork. With a 1 5/8 in. overall diameter, a 1/4 in. radius, and a 3/4 in. cutting height, this bit delivers crisp, consistent profile results in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and similar sheet materials. The 1/4 in. shank fits standard handheld routers and router tables, making it a practical choice for both bench-top routing and freehand edge profiling.
Key Features
- Carbide-Tipped Cutting Edges (HW Material) - industrial-grade carbide maintains a sharp edge through repeated cuts in hardwood and composite materials, reducing the need for frequent bit changes and keeping profiles clean and splinter-free.
- Anti-Kickback Body Design - controls the maximum depth of cut on each pass, reducing the risk of sudden bit grab and improving routing safety and accuracy, particularly on hardwoods and dense materials.
- Heat-Treated Shank and Body - hardened through heat treatment for structural durability under the torque and vibration of continuous routing, helping the bit hold its geometry over extended use.
- Bottom Bearing Included - the integrated ball-bearing pilot guides the bit along the workpiece edge without marring the surface, ensuring a consistent profile depth without the need for a fence on most applications.
- 2-Flute Right-Hand Rotation - dual cutting edges balanced for right-hand (RH) rotation provide smooth chip evacuation and a clean cut surface, reducing sanding time after routing.
- 1/4 in. Shank Compatibility - fits the 1/4 in. collet found on a wide range of handheld routers and router tables, giving this bit broad machine compatibility for hobbyists and contractors alike.
Why This Product
- The ogee-with-fillet profile combines two decorative elements in a single pass - the flowing S-curve ogee and a flat fillet step - eliminating the need for multiple bits to achieve traditional furniture-grade edge detail.
- The anti-kickback body design makes this bit a safer option for routing hardwoods and dense sheet goods, where sudden depth engagement is a common hazard with standard profile bits.
- The included bottom bearing removes the need for a straight-edge fence on most edge-profiling tasks, speeding up setup and allowing the bit to follow curved or irregular workpiece edges accurately.
- The carbide-tipped construction paired with a heat-treated shank means this bit is built for the repeated, heavy-duty use typical of contractor and shop environments - not just occasional hobby routing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profile shape does this bit produce?
This bit cuts an ogee-with-fillet profile - a wavy S-curve shape with a flat fillet step on top. It is a classic decorative edge commonly used on traditional furniture, cabinet doors, and architectural millwork, produced in a single routing pass.
Does this bit require a router fence, or does it guide itself along the edge?
This bit includes a bottom bearing that rides along the face of the workpiece, guiding the cut without the need for a router table fence on most edge-profiling applications. This also allows the bit to follow curved workpiece edges.
Is this bit compatible with my handheld router?
Yes. The 1/4 in. shank is compatible with any handheld router or router table equipped with a 1/4 in. collet. It can also be used with CNC routing machines that accept a 1/4 in. tool shank and right-hand rotation bits.
What materials can this bit cut?
The carbide-tipped cutting edges are suitable for use in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic. The anti-kickback design helps manage feed rate in denser materials for safer, cleaner cuts.
