Product Description
CMT Ogee with Fillet Router Bit - 1 3/8" Diameter, 1/2" Cutting Height, 1/4" Shank by CMT is a precision-ground carbide-tipped profiling bit engineered to produce classic ogee edge profiles with an inset bead detail along the lower edge of the cut. This two-flute, right-hand rotation bit is well suited for traditional furniture edges, decorative cabinetry, and detailed woodworking applications where a more refined, layered profile is desired. With a 3/16" radius and a 1/4" shank, it is compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing setups, making it a versatile choice for both bench woodworkers and production environments.
Key Features
- Ogee with Fillet Profile - adds an inset bead along the lower edge of the cut for a more detailed, traditional furniture-quality profile compared to a standard ogee bit.
- Hardwood (HW) Carbide Tips - industrial-grade carbide construction delivers extended cutting life in solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite sheet materials.
- 2-Flute Design - dual cutting edges provide a balanced, smooth cut with reduced vibration, resulting in cleaner edge surfaces that require less sanding.
- Bearing Guide Included - the integrated ball-bearing pilot follows the workpiece edge without burning or marring, ensuring consistent profile depth across the entire cut.
- 1/4" Shank - fits the widest range of standard router collets, making this bit immediately compatible with most handheld routers and router table setups.
- Right-Hand Rotation - matches the standard rotation direction of virtually all consumer and professional routers, so no special tooling or adapter is required.
- Multiple-Pass Technique Recommended - taking the full profile in several shallow passes rather than one deep cut reduces tear-out, minimizes load on the bit, and produces a cleaner finished edge.
Why This Product
- The ogee with fillet profile produces a more visually complex edge than a plain ogee by incorporating a small inset bead detail - ideal for woodworkers who want traditional furniture-style edges without needing multiple separate bits.
- At 1/2" cutting height and 1 3/8" overall diameter, this bit is sized to handle decorative edge work on solid wood panels, cabinet doors, and tabletops while remaining manageable in a 1/4" collet router.
- The bearing guide eliminates the need for a fence or edge guide on freehand router work, which speeds up setup and helps maintain a consistent profile on curved or irregular workpiece edges.
- With a 3/16" primary radius and 9/64" secondary radius combination, this bit offers a nuanced, two-radius profile that gives finished pieces a handcrafted, period-appropriate appearance suited to furniture restoration and custom cabinetry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ogee with fillet profile different from a standard ogee profile?
The ogee with fillet bit adds an inset bead along the lower edge of the cut, producing a more detailed, layered profile. A standard ogee bit creates a simple S-curve transition, while this bit incorporates that extra fillet detail that is common in traditional furniture and period cabinetry styles.
How many passes should I make when routing the full ogee with fillet profile?
For best results, multiple passes are recommended. Taking the profile in two or three progressively deeper passes rather than a single full-depth cut reduces tear-out, keeps the bit cooler, and produces a cleaner finished edge that requires less cleanup sanding.
What routers are compatible with this bit's 1/4" shank?
This bit has a 1/4" shank, which fits standard 1/4" collets found on the majority of handheld compact routers, full-size routers with a 1/4" collet insert, and many router table setups. Confirm your router's collet size before use to ensure a secure fit.
Does this bit include a bearing guide, and what purpose does it serve?
Yes, the bit includes a ball-bearing guide. The bearing rides along the edge of the workpiece and controls the horizontal depth of cut automatically, so no fence or edge guide is required for straight edges. It also allows the bit to follow gently curved workpiece edges while maintaining a consistent profile.
