CMT Ogee Bit - 1 1/2" Diameter x 45/64" Cutting Height, 1/4" Radius, 1/4" Shank is a precision-ground carbide-tipped router bit engineered to produce a reverse ogee edge profile - the mirror image of the traditional Roman ogee - delivering sharp, defining detail lines that transition into a smooth convex curve. Designed for use on cabinet edges and furniture components, this bit adds classic decorative character to solid hardwood, softwood, and engineered wood panels. The ogee profile is a demanding cut, and CMT recommends multiple light passes for clean, tear-out-free results on any material.

Key Features

• Hard Metal (HW) Carbide Cutting Material - industrial-grade carbide tips hold a sharp edge through extended production runs, reducing the frequency of bit changes and maintaining consistent profile quality pass after pass.
• 2-Flute Configuration - two cutting teeth balance feed rate and surface finish, producing smooth ogee profiles while keeping heat and vibration under control during the cut.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with virtually all handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, making this bit a drop-in choice for most setups.
• 1/4" Shank - fits 1/4" collet routers widely used in trim routing, light-duty production, and compact router table setups, expanding the range of machines this bit can be used with.
• 1/4" Ogee Radius with 1 1/2" Cutting Diameter - produces a substantial, well-defined reverse ogee profile sized appropriately for cabinet door edges, furniture rails, and decorative molding work.
• Mirror Image of Traditional Roman Ogee - the reverse ogee profile rolls from a sharp defining detail into a convex arc, creating a distinctive edge that stands apart from standard ogee profiles and adds visual depth to finished pieces.
• Multiple-Pass Machining Approach Recommended - because ogee profiles involve complex, curved geometry across the full cutting height of 45/64", taking several light passes rather than a single full-depth cut yields cleaner edges and extends bit life.

Why This Product

• The reverse ogee profile produced by this bit adds sharp, architectural detail to cabinet and furniture edges - a profile not achievable with a standard Roman ogee bit - making it a practical addition to any woodworking shop focused on decorative edge work.
• With a 1 1/2" cutting diameter and 45/64" cutting height, this bit is sized to produce a full, visually prominent ogee profile in a single setup, eliminating the need to match or blend multiple passes from different bit sizes.
• The 1/4" shank and right-hand rotation mean this bit is immediately compatible with a broad range of compact routers and router tables without requiring adapters or special collets.
• Hard metal carbide construction ensures the cutting edges stay sharp through demanding materials - including hardwoods that would quickly dull lesser tooling - so the profile stays crisp and consistent across a full project run.
