Produce Flawless Decorative Accents and Sharp Shadow Lines on Fine Furniture and Cabinetry

Precision Freud 1-1/4 Inch Ogee and Fillet Router Bit 38-202 with 1/4 Inch Shank

The Freud 38-202 1-1/4-Inch Diameter Ogee and Fillet Router Bit operates as an industrial-grade edge-profiling tool engineered to execute classical sweeping ogee curves with a crisp accentuating fillet step on solid hardwoods, softwoods, cabinet plywood, and wood composites. Manufactured with micrograin TiCo High-Density Carbide cutters coated in friction-reducing Red Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating, this 1/4-inch shank bit features a 3/8-inch ball bearing pilot, a 3/16-inch profile radius, a 1/2-inch carbide cutting height, and an 18,000 RPM maximum speed rating. Compatible with handheld portable routers and router table setups, this dual-flute profiling bit maintains smooth chip clearance and chatter-free balance across cabinet doors, fireplace mantels, picture frames, and custom furniture moldings.

Best Used For:

• Architectural Cabinet Door & Frame Profiling: Milling decorative ogee edges with a distinct fillet accent step along solid wood cabinet stiles and door frame faces.
• Fireplace Mantel & Picture Frame Molding: Shaping elegant architectural border profiles on custom wooden picture frames, plaque displays, and fireplace mantels.
• Guided Tabletop Edge Duplication: Tracing straight or curved workpiece perimeters using the integrated 3/8-inch ball bearing guide to produce uniform decorative edges.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• TiCo High-Density Micrograin Carbide: Proprietary titanium-cobalt carbide formulation maintains razor-sharp edges up to four times longer than standard carbide bits.
• Red Perma-SHIELD Thermal Barrier Coating: Non-stick fluoropolymer coating insulates the bit body against heat buildup, pitch accumulation, and rust corrosion.
• Integrated 3/8-Inch Ball Bearing Pilot: Smooth-rolling guide bearing tracks substrate faces accurately to prevent workpiece scoring or friction burning.
• Anti-Kickback Structure Geometry: Computer-balanced anti-kickback tool design controls feed rate to minimize kickback risk and eliminate rotational vibration.
• Precision Dual-Flute Shear Design: Two precision-ground carbide wings slice wood fibers cleanly to eliminate surface tear-out and grain burning at speeds up to 18,000 RPM.
• Universal 1/4-Inch Shank Profile: Fits standard 1/4-inch router collets across compact palm trimmers, handheld plunge routers, and table setups.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When routing 1-1/4 inch wide ogee and fillet profiles in dense exotic hardwoods, adjust your router speed to a maximum of 18,000 RPM to avoid friction burning. Take two light pass depths rather than a single heavy cut, allowing the final pass to remove only 1/32 inch of stock for a crisp, hand-planed fillet step and glass-smooth curve.
