CMT Contractor Ovolo Router Bit is a 2-flute carbide-tipped profile bit designed to rout a classic convex quarter-round edge with top and bottom bead in a single pass - making it a go-to choice for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers who want a refined, traditional edge profile without multiple setups. With a 1 in. cutting diameter, a 1/4 in. radius, and a 9/16 in. cutting height, this right-hand-rotation bit mounts on any 1/4 in. shank router and delivers clean, consistent ovolo profiles on solid hardwoods, softwoods, sheet goods, and composite materials alike.

Key Features

• Ovolo Profile in One Pass - produces a full roundover with top and bottom bead simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple bits or multiple passes and saving significant setup time on furniture and cabinet edges.
• 2 Carbide-Tipped Cutting Edges (HW) - industrial-grade carbide tips stay sharp longer than high-speed steel, delivering cleaner cuts across a wider range of wood species and composite panel materials.
• Anti-Kickback Design - limits the depth of cut on each pass, reducing the risk of sudden, uncontrolled grabbing and improving operator safety and cut accuracy.
• 1/4 in. Shank - compatible with compact and full-size handheld routers as well as router tables equipped with a 1/4 in. collet, broadening the range of machines this bit can be used with.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard clockwise rotation matches the direction of virtually all router motors, ensuring proper chip ejection and a smooth finished surface.
• Heat-Treated Shank and Body - the hardened steel body resists deflection and fatigue under repeated routing loads, contributing to longer service life and dimensional accuracy over time.
• 1-13/16 in. Total Length - compact overall length keeps the bit well within the reach of standard router collets while maintaining enough projection for full-profile cuts.

Why This Product

• Furniture makers and cabinetmakers who want the classic ovolo profile - a quarter-round flanked by two small fillets or beads - can achieve it in a single router pass rather than combining multiple profile bits, reducing both setup time and the chance of alignment error.
• The anti-kickback geometry built into the bit body actively limits how aggressively the bit can engage the workpiece, making this a safer choice for both handheld routing and router table use compared to bits without this feature.
• With a 1/4 in. shank, this bit is accessible to woodworkers running compact trim routers as well as those using full-size routers or router tables with a 1/4 in. collet - no adapter or specialty equipment required.
• The combination of carbide-tipped cutting edges and a heat-treated body means the bit holds up through production runs on hardwoods, plywood, MDF, melamine, and plastics without the frequent resharpening demands of softer tooling materials.
