Add a distinctive, professional touch to your woodworking projects with the Freud 38-102 Roman Ogee Bit. This decorative edge bit is designed to create the timeless Roman Ogee profile, instantly elevating the look of cabinets, furniture, plaques, and custom millwork. Featuring Freud's patented Quadra-Cut design, this bit uses four cutting edges to deliver an extra-fine, polished finish that virtually eliminates tear-out on both hardwoods and softwoods. The superior performance of the TiCo™ Carbide tips and the protective Perma-SHIELD® Coating ensure this 1-3/8" diameter bit remains sharp and runs cool, extending its life even in high-volume use. It’s perfect for routing composition materials, plywood, and solid wood using either a hand-held or table-mounted router.
