CMT Plunge Ogee Bit - 3/4" Diameter x 7/16" Cutting Height, 5/32" Radius, 1/4" Shank is a premium carbide-tipped router bit from CMT designed to create classic ogee profiles on interior panels, door fronts, chair rails, and decorative edges. Unlike standard edge-only profile bits, this plunge ogee bit can be started directly in the middle of a panel face without requiring edge access, opening up a wide range of interior routing and decorative layering applications on solid wood, sheet goods, and composite materials.

Key Features

• Plunge-Capable Design - the bit can be started in the center of a panel face without needing edge access, allowing you to rout interior ogee profiles, inset decorative patterns, and layered effects that would be impossible with a standard profiling bit.
• 3/4" Cutting Diameter with 7/16" Cutting Height - delivers a bold, well-defined ogee profile in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple setups and saving time on repetitive panel and door-front work.
• 5/32" Radius Ogee Profile - produces a refined, classic S-curve detail that adds architectural character to edges, frames, and inset panel decorations without requiring custom tooling.
• 1/4" Shank Compatibility - fits a wide range of handheld routers, compact routers, and router tables equipped with a 1/4" collet, making this bit accessible and easy to integrate into existing setups.
• Hardmetal (HW) Carbide Tips - industrial-grade carbide maintains a sharp cutting edge longer through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, reducing sharpening frequency and downtime.
• 2-Flute (2-Tooth) Geometry - twin cutting edges balance feed rate and surface finish, producing smooth ogee profiles with minimal tearout on both natural wood grain and engineered panels.
• Right-Hand Rotation - matches the standard rotation of all common router platforms, ensuring safe, predictable cutting performance without any special setup requirements.
• 2-3/32" Total Length - compact overall length provides clearance and stability in both handheld and table-mounted routing applications.

Why This Product

• Interior panel routing without edge access - the plunge-capable design means you can start decorative ogee cuts anywhere on a panel face, not just along an edge, making it the right choice for door fronts, raised panel centers, and layered decorative effects.
• Classic ogee profile in one pass - the 5/32" radius ogee geometry produces a traditional, architecturally refined S-curve detail that adds visual depth to cabinet doors, chair rails, and millwork without requiring multiple bits or setups.
• Broad material compatibility - hardmetal carbide tips handle solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, making this a versatile single tool for shops that work across a range of substrates.
• Works across router platforms - the 1/4" shank fits handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, so you can use this bit across multiple workflows without purchasing additional tooling.
