The CMT Ovolo Bit (827.560.11) is a precision-ground carbide-tipped router bit designed to produce elegant convex quarter-round profiles with fillets - ideal for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers seeking to create beautiful bead work, edge profiles, and vein details in a single versatile tool. With a 29/32 in. cutting diameter, 15/32 in. cutting height, and a generous 15/64 in. radius, this right-hand rotation bit mounts on a 1/2 in. shank and delivers the profile variety of several different bits combined into one efficient solution. Whether used on a handheld router, router table, or automated CNC routing system, this ovolo bit brings consistency and craftsmanship to classical edge work and single or double bead profiles alike.

Key Features

• Hardwood (HW) Carbide Cutting Material - industrial-grade carbide teeth hold a sharp edge longer through dense hardwoods and composite materials, reducing the need for frequent resharpening and downtime.
• 2-Tooth (2-Flute) Configuration - two cutting edges balance speed and surface quality, producing smooth, clean ovolo and bead profiles with minimal tearout on furniture-grade stock.
• 29/32 in. Cutting Diameter with 15/64 in. Radius - delivers a full, traditional ovolo curve sized for furniture edges, cabinet rails, and decorative millwork where a refined classical profile is required.
• 15/32 in. Cutting Height - generous cutting height enables single-pass and multi-pass depth adjustments, allowing the same bit to produce a variety of single and double bead profiles simply by changing the height or depth of cut.
• 1/2 in. Shank - a full 1/2 in. shank provides maximum stability and reduced vibration compared to smaller-shank options, contributing to cleaner profiles and improved accuracy at the router table or on a CNC system.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with virtually all routers and CNC routing machines, making this bit a straightforward drop-in for existing setups.
• Compatible with Fence or Automated Router Systems - designed to be used with a fence or on automated router systems, giving both production shops and individual craftspeople the flexibility to achieve consistent repeatable results.

Why This Product

• One bit replaces several by producing a wide variety of single and double bead profiles and roundovers through simple height and depth adjustments - reducing tool changes and saving time during production runs.
• The 15/32 in. cutting height and 15/64 in. radius combination is well-suited for furniture and cabinet edge work where a traditional ovolo or classical bead profile is specified, giving craftspeople the correct geometry without custom grinding.
• The 1/2 in. shank and 2-flute hardwood carbide construction make this bit equally at home on a handheld router, a router table, or a CNC routing machine - giving woodworking shops a single tool that transitions across multiple workflows.
• Adjusting cut depth or height with the same bit produces distinctly different profile outcomes - from simple roundovers to decorative veins and beadwork - making it a cost-effective addition to any furniture maker's bit collection.
