Product Description
CMT Ovolo Router Bit - 2 1/4" Diameter, 1 1/8" Cutting Height, 7/8" Radius, 1/2" Shank by CMT is a professional-grade routing solution engineered for furniture makers and woodworkers who demand clean, repeatable convex bead profiles. This right-hand rotation, 2-flute carbide-tipped bit handles a wide range of decorative edge work - from classic single and double bead profiles to elegant roundovers and veins - by simply adjusting the height or depth of cut on a router table, handheld router, or automated routing system.
Key Features
- 7/8" Radius Ovolo Profile - produces a convex quarter-round with fillet detail ideal for traditional furniture edges, beadwork, and classical edgework, giving pieces a refined, finished appearance.
- 2 1/4" Large Cutting Diameter with 1 1/8" Cutting Height - delivers substantial material removal in a single pass, reducing the number of setups needed for complex furniture profiles.
- Hardwood (HW) Carbide-Tipped Construction - industrial-grade carbide cutting edges maintain sharpness longer when working through solid hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered sheet goods, extending tool life between sharpenings.
- 2-Flute Design (Right-Hand Rotation) - dual cutting edges provide balanced chip removal and a smoother surface finish, reducing tearout on both solid wood and composite materials.
- 1/2" Shank Diameter - a full 1/2" shank seats securely in the collet, minimizing vibration and deflection during heavy profiling cuts for greater accuracy and consistency.
- Compatible with Automated Router Systems and Fence-Guided Setups - versatile enough for CNC routing equipment and manual router table use, allowing production runs or one-off custom profiles with equal precision.
- Adjustable Profile Versatility - by changing the height or depth of cut, a single bit produces a wide variety of single bead, double bead, and roundover profiles, effectively replacing several individual profile bits.
Why This Product
- One bit, multiple profiles - CMT designed this ovolo bit to replace several individual profile bits. By adjusting cut height or depth, woodworkers can achieve single bead, double bead, and roundover profiles without swapping tooling, saving setup time and tooling costs.
- Built for furniture production - the 7/8" radius and 1 1/8" cutting height are specifically suited to the scale of furniture rails, stiles, and cabinet edges where classical bead profiles are most commonly required.
- Automation-ready design - with a 1/2" shank and right-hand rotation, this bit is compatible with both manual router tables and automated CNC routing systems, making it a practical choice for shops that run both production and custom work.
- Hardwood-grade carbide for demanding materials - HW (hardwood) rated carbide tips mean the bit stays sharp through dense species and engineered materials, reducing downtime for bit changes on longer production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this ovolo bit produce more than one type of profile?
Yes. By adjusting the height or depth of cut, this single bit can produce a variety of single bead, double bead, and roundover profiles. This versatility is a core design feature, effectively combining the function of multiple individual profile bits into one tool.
Is this bit compatible with CNC or automated router systems?
Yes. The CMT 827.722.11 is designed for use on automated router systems as well as with a fence on a conventional router table, making it suitable for both production shop environments and custom woodworking setups.
What shank size is required for this bit, and what collet should I use?
This bit has a 1/2" shank diameter. You will need a router or router table with a 1/2" collet to seat it properly. The 1/2" shank provides added rigidity during profiling cuts on larger diameter bits like this one.
What materials can this ovolo bit cut?
The HW (hardwood carbide) construction makes this bit well suited for solid hardwoods and softwoods, as well as engineered sheet materials commonly used in furniture and cabinet production. Always match feed rate and router speed to the material being cut for best results.
