Achieve Flawless Decorative Edges with the Freud Quadra-Cut Ogee Router Bit

Add a touch of elegance to your woodworking projects with the Freud 38-152 1-1/4" Quadra-Cut Ogee Router Bit. Designed for professional carpenters and dedicated hobbyists, this high-performance bit creates a distinctive, classical Ogee profile that enhances the look of cabinets, furniture, plaques, and architectural millwork. Whether you are working with hardwood, softwood, plywood, or composite materials, this tool delivers a smooth, crisp profile that elevates the quality of your craftsmanship.

The standout feature of this bit is Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut™ design. Unlike standard two-cutter bits, this tool utilizes four cutting edges—two large up-shear cutters to remove the bulk of the material and two smaller down-shear cutters to produce an ultra-fine, splinter-free finish. Encased in Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, the bit resists heat buildup, corrosion, and pitch accumulation, ensuring long-lasting performance even during heavy use. With its precision-ground TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, the 38-152 offers maximum cutting life and stays sharper longer.

Key Features

  • Quadra-Cut Technology: Features 4 cutters (2 up-shear, 2 down-shear) for a glass-smooth finish with no rework required.
  • Elegant Ogee Profile: Creates a classic decorative edge ideal for moldings, cabinetry, and furniture making.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specially formulated carbide blend maximizes edge retention and durability.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating reduces drag and prevents rust, gumming, and heat buildup.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Safe for use with both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.
  • Wide Material Use: Cuts cleanly through all composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods.
  • Precision Balanced: Computer-balanced to eliminate vibration and ensure chatter-free operation at high RPMs.

Pro-Tip: To avoid tear-out on end grain, particularly with deeper decorative profiles like the Ogee, always route the end grain sides of your workpiece first. Any minor tear-out that occurs at the corners will then be cleaned up when you route the long grain sides.
