Product Description
CMT Ogee Bit - 1 1/8" Diameter x 1/2" Cutting Height, 5/32" Radius, 1/4" Shank is a precision carbide-tipped router bit engineered to cut decorative ogee edge profiles on furniture, cabinetry, and woodworking projects. Unlike the traditional Roman ogee, this CMT profile is its mirror image - delivering sharp defining edge details that transition smoothly into a convex shape. With a 2-flute design and right-hand rotation, this bit is well-suited for use in handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing applications where clean, repeatable decorative profiles are required.
Key Features
- Ogee (mirror image) profile - adds sharp, defining decorative detail to cabinet and furniture edges with a smooth convex transition, giving finished pieces a distinctive, professional look.
- 1 1/8" cutting diameter with 1/2" cutting height - provides generous profile coverage in a single setup, reducing repositioning time when working along long edges.
- 5/32" radius - creates a precisely proportioned ogee curve suited for refined furniture and cabinetry edge work where subtle detailing is important.
- 1/4" shank - compatible with a wide range of handheld routers and router tables that accept the standard 1/4" collet size.
- 2-flute (2-tooth) configuration - balances cutting speed and surface finish quality, reducing tearout on hardwoods and composite materials.
- Hardmetal (HW) carbide construction - delivers durability and extended cutting life when working through hardwood, softwood, sheet goods, and composites.
- Right-hand (RH) rotation - standard directional cutting compatible with conventional router operation for predictable feed direction and control.
- Multiple passes recommended for ogee profiles - the complex geometry of this type of machining benefits from incremental depth passes, resulting in cleaner edges and reduced stress on the bit.
Why This Product
- Mirror-image ogee for unique edge detailing - where a standard Roman ogee cuts a concave-to-convex profile, this bit cuts the reverse, giving designers and woodworkers an alternative decorative profile option for cabinet doors, furniture rails, and tabletop edges.
- Carbide-tipped hardmetal (HW) construction for lasting performance - the HW carbide material is engineered to maintain a sharp cutting edge through extended use on solid wood, plywood, MDF, and similar materials without frequent resharpening.
- Versatile 1/4" shank fits common router setups - the 1/4" shank is one of the most widely used collet sizes, making this bit compatible with a broad selection of routers already in a shop.
- Purpose-built for refined furniture and cabinet edge work - the 5/32" radius and 1/2" cutting height are proportioned for the fine detailing typical of furniture-grade cabinetry and millwork, where edge profile quality directly affects the perceived finish quality of the piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this ogee profile different from a standard Roman ogee router bit?
This CMT ogee bit cuts the mirror image of the traditional Roman ogee profile. Rather than beginning with a concave shape and transitioning outward, it adds sharp defining detail to edges before rolling into a smooth convex shape - producing a reversed profile that gives cabinets and furniture a distinct decorative look.
Why are multiple passes recommended when using this bit?
The ogee profile involves complex geometry that places significant lateral load on the bit and workpiece. Taking multiple incremental passes - rather than cutting the full profile depth in one pass - reduces stress on the carbide, minimizes tearout on the wood surface, and produces a cleaner, more accurate finished edge.
What routers is this bit compatible with?
This bit uses a 1/4" shank, which is one of the most common collet sizes found in handheld routers and router tables. It is also suitable for use in CNC routing machines that accept a 1/4" collet. Always confirm your router or collet accepts a 1/4" shank before use.
What materials can this bit cut?
The hardmetal (HW) carbide construction makes this bit capable of cutting solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and similar wood-based composite sheet materials commonly used in furniture and cabinet making.
