Product Description
CMT Ogee with Fillet Router Bit - 1 3/8" Diameter, 1/2" Cutting Height, 1/2" Shank is a precision profile-cutting bit from CMT designed to rout classic ogee edges with an inset fillet bead along the lower edge of the cut. This traditional furniture edge profile bit is built with a 2-tooth hardmetal (HW) carbide construction and right-hand rotation, making it well-suited for handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing applications. For woodworkers seeking a more-detailed decorative edge on solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, or similar materials, this bit delivers a refined S-curve ogee profile accented by a lower bead - a hallmark of traditional cabinetry and fine furniture work.
Key Features
- Ogee with Fillet Profile - adds an inset bead along the lower edge of the ogee cut, producing a more-detailed decorative profile ideal for traditional furniture and cabinet edges.
- Hardmetal (HW) Carbide Cutting Material - provides durable, long-lasting cutting performance through a wide range of wood types and sheet goods, reducing the need for frequent bit replacement.
- 2-Tooth Design - balances cutting efficiency and surface finish quality, helping deliver smooth results on both solid wood and engineered wood products.
- Ball-Bearing Guide - follows the workpiece edge automatically, maintaining consistent profile depth without requiring fences or guides on handheld routers and router tables.
- 1/2" Shank - the larger shank diameter provides greater stability and reduced vibration compared to smaller shanks, improving accuracy and finish quality during routing.
- Right-Hand Rotation - compatible with standard router spindle direction, ensuring safe and correct operation in conventional handheld and table-mounted routers.
- 1 3/8" Cutting Diameter - sized to produce a substantial ogee with fillet profile suitable for furniture rails, door frames, and decorative panel edges.
- Multiple Passes Recommended - taking several lighter passes rather than a single deep cut reduces stress on the bit and workpiece, resulting in a cleaner finished edge profile.
Why This Product
- Detailed profile in a single bit - the combined ogee and fillet geometry eliminates the need to make multiple separate passes with different bits to achieve a traditional furniture edge, saving setup time at the router table.
- Bearing-guided for consistent results - the integrated ball-bearing follower means the profile depth stays uniform along curved, straight, or irregular workpiece edges without requiring a separate fence setup.
- Versatile machine compatibility - the 1/2" shank design works with handheld routers, dedicated router tables, and CNC routing machines, making this bit a flexible choice across different shop setups.
- Built for traditional woodworking profiles - the 3/16" radius ogee with fillet is a classic detail found on period furniture, raised panel doors, and decorative moulding - this bit brings that handcrafted look to production and custom shop work alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard ogee bit and an ogee with fillet bit?
A standard ogee bit produces a classic S-curve profile along the edge of a workpiece. An ogee with fillet bit - like this CMT 847.825.11 - adds an inset bead (fillet) along the lower edge of the cut, creating a more-detailed decorative profile that is commonly seen on traditional and period-style furniture edges and cabinetry.
What shank size does this bit require, and why does it matter?
This bit uses a 1/2" shank, which is the larger of the two common router shank sizes. A 1/2" shank provides greater rigidity and reduced vibration during cutting compared to a 1/4" shank, which is especially important when routing larger profile bits like this one. Make sure your router collet accepts 1/2" shanks before use.
Is it recommended to rout the full profile depth in one pass?
No - for best results with this bit, multiple passes are recommended. Taking several lighter passes rather than attempting to rout the full 1/2" cutting height in a single pass reduces stress on both the bit and the workpiece, minimizes tearout, and produces a cleaner, smoother finished edge profile.
What types of routers and setups is this bit compatible with?
This CMT ogee with fillet bit is compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines - any setup that accepts a 1/2" shank and uses standard right-hand rotation. The integrated ball-bearing guide allows freehand use along a workpiece edge without requiring a separate fence, making it especially convenient for shaped or curved pieces.
