The CMT 865.905.11 Decorative Ogee Bit is a carbide-tipped router bit engineered to cut elegant ogee profiles on doors, drawer fronts, furniture edges, and cabinetry details. With a 7/8 in. cutting diameter, 1/8 in. radius, and 1/2 in. shank, this Profile C ogee bit delivers smooth, ornate edge profiles that add a refined, classical appearance to woodworking projects. Whether you are working with solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composite sheet goods, this right-hand rotation bit brings professional decorative results to handheld routers and router tables alike.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped cutting edges - harder than high-speed steel, these tips stay sharp through extended runs in hardwood and composite materials, reducing the need for frequent bit changes and delivering consistently smooth profiles.
• Profile C ogee geometry - produces a classically shaped ogee contour ideal for door panel edges, drawer fronts, and architectural millwork where a refined decorative detail is required.
• 1/8 in. radius cut - a precise, well-proportioned radius that creates a graceful S-curve profile suited to furniture-scale decorative edging without overcutting delicate workpieces.
• 1/2 in. shank diameter - the larger shank provides superior rigidity and reduced vibration compared to 1/4 in. shank bits, contributing to cleaner cuts and a smoother finished surface.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) configuration - dual cutting edges improve chip clearance and surface finish quality, making each pass cleaner and more efficient.
• Right-hand rotation - compatible with standard router spindle direction, ensuring safe, correct engagement with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines.
• 7/8 in. cutting diameter with 1 1/4 in. cutting height - adequate cutting depth to complete a full decorative ogee profile in a single controlled pass on typical furniture stock thicknesses.
• 2 3/4 in. overall length - balanced total length provides secure collet engagement while keeping the bit stable at operating speed.

Why This Product

• The carbide-tipped construction paired with a 2-flute design means woodworkers get a smooth, eye-catching ogee profile on doors and drawer fronts without tear-out, making it a practical choice for cabinet and furniture shops that demand consistent quality across multiple pieces.
• The 1/2 in. shank is the preferred choice for full-size router tables and heavy-duty handheld routers - it seats firmly in the collet and minimizes chatter, which is especially important when routing decorative profiles where surface quality is the primary goal.
• Profile C ogee geometry addresses one of the most common decorative routing needs in furniture and cabinetry - the classical S-curve edge - giving craftspeople a single, purpose-built bit rather than a general-purpose alternative that may not produce the same clean profile.
• With a 1 1/4 in. cutting height and 2 3/4 in. total length, this bit accommodates typical door and drawer front thicknesses in one pass, reducing setup time and the risk of mismatched profile passes on finished workpieces.
