The CMT 859.564.11 Ogee Bit is a precision-crafted router bit designed to cut decorative edge profiles that serve as the mirror image of the traditional Roman ogee. With a 1 1/2 in. cutting diameter, a 45/64 in. cutting height, and a 1/4 in. radius, this 2-flute carbide bit delivers sharp, defining edge detail before rolling into a smooth convex shape - making it a versatile choice for furniture edges, cabinet doors, and decorative woodworking projects. Mounted on a 1/2 in. shank, it is compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines. Because this profile involves challenging machining geometry, multiple passes are recommended for the cleanest, most accurate results.

Key Features

• Ogee Profile (Mirror of Roman Ogee): creates sharp defining edge detail that transitions into a smooth convex curve, adding refined decorative character to cabinet and furniture edges.
• 1 1/2 in. Cutting Diameter: provides a wide, bold profile sweep that produces visually prominent edge detail in a single setup.
• 45/64 in. Cutting Height: gives you sufficient edge coverage for standard furniture and cabinet stock thicknesses in a single tool change.
• 1/4 in. Radius: produces a graceful curved transition that softens the edge while maintaining a crisp decorative silhouette.
• 2-Flute (HW Carbide) Design: two hardwood-grade carbide teeth deliver cleaner cuts with reduced tear-out, extending cutting life across a wide range of wood species and sheet goods.
• 1/2 in. Shank: the larger shank diameter provides greater rigidity and reduced vibration compared to smaller shank bits, resulting in smoother surface finishes and improved accuracy.
• Right-Hand Rotation: compatible with standard router and CNC spindle configurations, requiring no special setup or adapter for typical woodworking applications.
• Multiple Pass Recommended Design: the bit geometry is optimized for incremental depth passes, reducing stress on the cutter and the workpiece to produce cleaner, safer results on complex ogee profiles.

Why This Product

• The ogee profile this bit produces is the mirror image of the classic Roman ogee - giving designers and woodworkers a distinct, complementary edge option that pairs beautifully with traditional Roman ogee profiles on the same project.
• The combination of a 1/2 in. shank and 2-flute HW carbide construction reduces chatter and vibration, which is especially important when routing the complex curved geometry of an ogee profile across hardwoods or dense composites.
• At 2 5/8 in. total length with a 45/64 in. cutting height, this bit offers the reach and cutting capacity needed for typical cabinet door and furniture edge applications without requiring extensions or special toolholding setups.
• Because the ogee profile combines both concave and convex elements, routing it in multiple passes - as recommended - reduces the risk of kickback and burning, and the bit's carbide tooth count and geometry are well suited to that incremental approach.
