CMT Ogee Router Bit - 1 1/2" Diameter x 45/64" Cutting Height, 1/4" Radius, 1/4" Shank by CMT is a precision-ground carbide-tipped routing bit designed to cut a mirror-image ogee profile along the edges of cabinets, furniture panels, and decorative woodwork. Unlike a traditional roman ogee, this ogee pattern opens with a sharp defining detail before rolling into a smooth convex curve - creating a bold, eye-catching edge treatment that elevates solid hardwood furniture, cabinetry doors, and panel edges. Because this style of profiling places significant lateral load on the cutting edges, CMT recommends multiple shallow passes for best results and a cleaner finished surface.

Key Features

• Hardwood (HW) carbide-tipped cutting edges - tungsten carbide tips stay sharp longer than high-speed steel, reducing the frequency of bit replacements when routing dense hardwoods, plywood, MDF, and composite materials.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) design - dual cutting edges produce a balanced cut with smoother surface finishes and more consistent edge profiles on furniture and cabinet components.
• 1/4" radius ogee profile - delivers a mirror-image of the traditional roman ogee shape, adding sharp defining details and a smooth convex transition ideal for decorative edge work on cabinetry and furniture.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - compatible with the feed direction used on standard handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, making setup straightforward and predictable.
• 1/4" shank diameter - fits a wide range of router collets, keeping this bit accessible for hobbyists and professionals who use compact or full-size routers alike.
• 2-9/32" total length - provides adequate clearance above and below the workpiece surface, allowing use in both table-mounted and handheld router configurations.
• Multiple-pass machining approach recommended - because ogee profile cutting is mechanically demanding, taking several lighter passes reduces heat buildup, chip load, and the risk of tear-out, preserving edge quality.

Why This Product

• The ogee profile produced by this bit is the mirror image of a standard roman ogee - making it a go-to choice for woodworkers who want a distinctive, inverted decorative edge that stands out from conventional router profiles on cabinet doors and furniture rails.
• With a 45/64" cutting height and 1 1/2" overall diameter, this bit covers the full profile depth in a single bit, eliminating the need for multiple passes with different cutters just to achieve the correct profile shape.
• The 1/4" shank makes this bit compatible with a broad range of router platforms - from compact trim routers to full-size table routers - giving woodworkers flexibility across different machine setups without needing a dedicated tool for each.
• Hardwood-grade carbide construction means this bit handles the full range of cabinet and furniture materials - solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard - without requiring a specialty bit for each substrate type.
