Freud 38-102 1-3/8-Inch Roman Ogee Quadra-Cut Carbide Router Bit

The Freud 38-102 1-3/8-Inch Roman Ogee Quadra-Cut Carbide Router Bit is a professional decorative edging tool engineered to mill classic S-curve Roman Ogee profiles on cabinet doors, furniture tops, plaques, and architectural millwork. Operating at rotational speeds up to 16,000 RPM with a 1/4-inch shank, 1-3/8-inch overall diameter, 23/32-inch carbide cutting height, and a 3/8-inch pilot bearing, this 4-cutter bit incorporates patented Quadra-Cut technology, TiCo hi-density carbide tips, and a Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating. Designed for handheld and table-mounted routers, this dual-direction cutting bit solves end-grain tear-out, surface burning, and sanding rework across hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite woodworking projects.

Best Used For:

• Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Edging: Milling decorative 1/4-inch radius S-curve Roman Ogee borders on custom hardwood cabinet face panels.
• Tabletop & Mantle Edge Profiling: Shaping tear-out-free decorative profiles along solid oak, maple, and cherry tabletop edges.
• Architectural Trim & Moldings: Routing classic decorative edge contours on wooden plaques, picture frames, and custom wall trim.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Patented Quadra-Cut 4-Cutter Design: Uses two large cutters that shear upward and two small cutters that shear downward to eliminate fuzzing and grain tear-out.
• TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Tips: High-density titanium-cobalt carbide formulation maintains razor sharpness against abrasive composite glues and dense hardwoods.
• Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Red Coating: Exclusive fluoropolymer coating shields the bit body from frictional heat, pitch accumulation, and rust corrosion.
• Ball Bearing Pilot Guide Assembly: Precision 3/8-inch pilot bearing guides the bit smoothly along straight or curved workpiece edges without burning.
• High-Speed 16,000 RPM Rating: Dynamically balanced cutter body ensures stable, chatter-free edge shaping in compact handheld and table routers.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Take two light passes rather than one full-depth cut when routing cross-grain end profiles on dense hardwoods to achieve a glass-smooth finish that requires zero hand sanding.
