The CMT Contractor Roman Ogee Bit is a 2-flute carbide-tipped router bit designed to cut the classic wavy S-curve ogee profile along wood edges, adding an elegant decorative touch to furniture, cabinet doors, and fine woodworking projects. With a 1 1/8 in. cutting diameter, a 5/32 in. radius, and a 1/4 in. shank, this bit is compatible with handheld routers and router tables alike. CMT's anti-kickback body geometry and rust-resistant black coating make this an ideal choice for craftspeople who want consistent, safe, and refined edge profiles on solid hardwood, softwood, and sheet goods.

Key Features

• Roman Ogee Profile (5/32 in. Radius): cuts the timeless S-curve wavy edge detail that elevates the appearance of furniture faces, cabinet door edges, and decorative trim - no secondary shaping or sanding required to achieve the classic ogee look.
• Anti-Kickback Design: the body of the bit is engineered to limit the depth of cut and reduce kickback risk, improving operator safety and delivering more controlled, accurate passes on the workpiece.
• Rust-Resistant Black Coating: a protective non-stick coating shields the bit body from pitch, resin, and corrosion buildup, keeping the bit running cleaner for longer and reducing the frequency of cleaning between uses.
• Smooth-Running Bearing: a ball-bearing pilot is included for template work, ensuring a consistent edge profile and allowing the bit to follow a template or the workpiece edge without burning or wandering.
• HW (Carbide) Cutting Material: hardmetal carbide tips maintain a sharp cutting edge through repeated use on solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and similar materials, delivering clean, tear-out-free profiles.
• 2-Flute Configuration: dual cutting edges produce a smooth, finished surface in a single pass, reducing the need for additional sanding or cleanup on the ogee profile.
• 1/4 in. Shank: the standard 1/4 in. shank fits the collet of most handheld routers and compact router tables, making this bit widely compatible with common workshop equipment.
• Right-Hand Rotation: designed for standard right-hand router spindle rotation, matching the direction of virtually all consumer and professional routers on the market.

Why This Product

• The anti-kickback body design addresses one of the most common router safety concerns, making this bit a reliable choice for woodworkers who want to maintain control and precision during edge-profiling operations.
• The included smooth-running bearing allows the bit to be used for both freehand edge routing and template-guided work, giving one tool the versatility to handle multiple decorative edge applications.
• The rust-resistant black coating reduces maintenance time by repelling pitch and resin, so the bit stays cleaner between uses and performs more consistently over its cutting life.
• With a 1/4 in. shank and right-hand rotation, this bit is compatible with the widest range of compact and full-size routers in the workshop, eliminating the need for a specialty collet or adapters.
