The CMT 865.903.11 Decorative Ogee Bit is a precision-crafted, carbide-tipped router bit designed to add elegant ogee profiles to doors, drawer fronts, cabinet edges, and fine furniture details. Built by CMT with a Profile B ogee shape, this bit delivers the smooth, ornate curves that transform plain edges into standout decorative elements - whether you are running it on a handheld router, a router table, or a CNC routing machine. With a 1/2 in. shank for secure, vibration-free chuck engagement and a right-hand rotation design, this ogee router bit is suited for woodworkers who demand clean, repeatable decorative profiles in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and composite sheet materials.

Key Features

• Carbide-Tipped Cutting Edges (HW Material) - industrial-grade carbide tips stay sharper longer than high-speed steel, delivering smooth, splinter-free ogee profiles pass after pass without frequent resharpening.
• Profile B Ogee Shape - the classic S-curve ogee profile adds architectural-quality decorative detail to cabinet doors and drawer fronts, giving furniture a refined, finished appearance that impresses at a glance.
• 1/2 in. Shank Diameter - the larger shank compared to 1/4 in. alternatives reduces bit deflection and vibration during cuts, resulting in cleaner profile edges and improved operator control.
• 2-Flute Cutting Configuration (Z=2) - two cutting edges balance feed rate and surface quality, producing a consistently smooth ogee profile while helping manage heat buildup during extended routing sessions.
• Right-Hand Rotation (RH) - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with the vast majority of routers and router tables, so this bit drops straight into your existing setup without any special configuration.
• 3/4 in. Overall Diameter with 1/4 in. Radius - these dimensions produce a well-proportioned ogee curve that suits standard door rail-and-stile applications as well as standalone edge treatments on drawer fronts and panels.
• 33/64 in. Cutting Height - sufficient material engagement depth to fully form the ogee profile in a single pass on properly dimensioned stock, reducing setup time and the need for multiple depth adjustments.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for decorative cabinet and furniture work - the Profile B ogee shape is specifically engineered for door edges and drawer fronts where a classical S-curve profile is the goal, making this bit a direct fit for cabinetmakers and furniture builders rather than a general-purpose compromise.
• Carbide tips mean fewer interruptions on the job - HW carbide-tipped cutting edges outlast standard high-speed steel bits in both hardwood and sheet goods applications, so you spend more time routing and less time swapping bits mid-project.
• The 1/2 in. shank delivers stability on demanding profiles - decorative ogee passes require smooth, consistent bit travel; the larger 1/2 in. shank minimizes runout and chatter that could leave visible tool marks on the finished profile.
• Two flutes strike the right balance for profile routing - with 2 carbide-tipped flutes, this bit moves efficiently through solid hardwood and MDF alike, making it a practical choice for both production cabinetry runs and one-off custom furniture pieces.
