Product Description
The CMT Contractor Decorative Ogee Bit is a precision-ground router bit designed to produce elegant ogee profiles on doors, drawer fronts, and decorative trim work. With a 1-1/32 in. cutting diameter and a 1/4 in. radius, this bit creates smooth, classical veining and edge profiles that add a refined, furniture-quality finish to woodworking projects. Featuring 2 carbide-tipped cutting edges and a heat-treated shank and body, this bit is built for durability and consistent results across a wide range of solid hardwoods, softwoods, and composite sheet goods.
Key Features
- Carbide-tipped cutting edges (HW material grade) - hard carbide tips stay sharper longer than high-speed steel, reducing the number of re-sharpenings needed during heavy use on door and drawer front production.
- 2 cutting flutes - dual cutting edges balance the load on each pass, helping to produce a cleaner, more consistent ogee profile with less tearout on wood grain.
- Heat-treated shank and body - the hardened 1/4 in. shank resists bending and stress fractures during routing, contributing to safer operation and a longer service life.
- Right-hand rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with virtually all handheld routers and router tables, making this bit a straightforward drop-in choice for existing setups.
- 1/4 in. shank - fits compact routers and laminate trimmers as well as full-size routers equipped with a 1/4 in. collet, broadening the range of machines this bit can be used with.
- 1-7/8 in. total length with 5/8 in. cutting height - the overall dimensions allow proper collet engagement while keeping the bit stable and vibration-free during decorative edge passes.
Why This Product
- The 1/4 in. ogee radius delivers a traditional decorative profile well suited to cabinet door edges and drawer front detailing, giving furniture and millwork a polished, classical appearance.
- Carbide-tipped construction paired with a heat-treated body means this bit can handle repeat passes on hardwood cabinet components without premature dulling - reducing downtime on production runs.
- The 1/4 in. shank makes this bit accessible to woodworkers using compact routers or laminate trimmers, not just heavy-duty router table setups, expanding its practical versatility.
- At 1-7/8 in. total length, the bit sits at a practical working depth that maximizes collet grip while still exposing the full 5/8 in. cutting height needed for complete ogee profile routing in a single pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profile does this bit produce?
This bit produces a decorative ogee profile with a 1/4 in. radius. The ogee is a classical S-curve edge shape commonly used for veining and decorative edges on doors, drawer fronts, and furniture millwork.
What shank size does this bit use, and which routers will it fit?
This bit uses a 1/4 in. shank, which is compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and compact laminate trimmers equipped with a 1/4 in. collet. Always confirm your router's collet size before installing.
How many cutting edges does this bit have, and what material are they made from?
The bit has 2 cutting edges tipped with carbide (HW grade). Carbide-tipped edges provide greater durability and edge retention compared to high-speed steel, making them well suited to repeated decorative profiling cuts on hardwood and softwood materials.
