The CMT Roman Ogee Bit with Bearing - 1 1/8" Diameter x 29/64" Cutting Height, 5/32" Radius, 1/4" Shank by CMT delivers one of the most recognized and timeless edge profiles in woodworking. Designed for handheld routers and router tables alike, this right-hand rotation bit produces the classic S-curve ogee shape that has graced fine furniture, cabinet doors, and decorative millwork for centuries. With a 2-flute hardwood-grade carbide construction and a precision bearing guide, this bit is built for woodworkers who demand clean, repeatable results on solid wood, sheet goods, and more. For best results, multiple passes are recommended to achieve a smooth, finished profile.

Key Features

• Roman Ogee Profile - produces the iconic S-curve edge treatment that is one of the most popular and elegant profiles in furniture making and cabinetry, giving your work a polished, classical appearance.
• Bearing Guide Included - the integrated pilot bearing rides along the workpiece edge to maintain a consistent depth of cut, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a uniform ogee profile across every pass.
• 2-Flute Hardwood Carbide Construction (HW) - dual carbide cutting edges deliver smooth shearing action on solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials, reducing tear-out and extending the life of the bit between sharpenings.
• 1/4" Shank - fits the widest range of compact routers and standard router tables, making this bit highly versatile and accessible for hobbyists and professionals alike.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with the vast majority of routers on the market, allowing straightforward drop-in use without any special setup.
• 5/32" Radius - a refined, smaller-scale ogee radius well suited to delicate edge work on thinner stock, drawer fronts, and detail trim where subtlety and precision matter.
• 1 1/8" Cutting Diameter with 29/64" Cutting Height - sized to produce a full, well-proportioned ogee profile in one setup, minimizing repositioning and keeping workflow efficient.

Why This Product

• The Roman ogee is widely regarded as one of the most classic decorative edge profiles in woodworking - this bit lets you reproduce that traditional look accurately and consistently with a bearing-guided setup that controls depth automatically.
• The 1/4" shank size makes this bit accessible to a broad range of routers, from compact trim routers to full-size table-mounted units, so you are not limited to a specific machine.
• The 5/32" radius and 29/64" cutting height are proportioned for detailed work on furniture edges, cabinet door frames, and decorative trim where a refined, smaller ogee profile is the correct design choice rather than an oversized profile.
• With 2 hardwood carbide flutes and a pilot bearing, this bit handles the full cutting and guiding task in a single pass (or multiple light passes for best results), reducing setup time and keeping edge quality consistent throughout a project.
