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

Elevate the craftsmanship of your woodworking projects with the Freud 38-222 1-3/8" Quadra-Cut Ogee Fillet Router Bit. Designed for the professional cabinet maker and dedicated hobbyist, this bit produces a sophisticated profile combining a classic Ogee curve with a crisp, flat Fillet step. This elegant design is perfect for adding distinctive detail to cabinet doors, furniture tops, plaques, and architectural millwork. With its robust 1/2" shank, this tool offers superior stability and minimizes chatter, making it ideal for use with both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.

The 38-222 sets itself apart with Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut™ design. Unlike standard bits that use only two cutters, this tool employs four: two large up-shear cutters to remove the bulk of the material, and two smaller down-shear cutters to perform a final finishing pass. This innovation results in an incredibly smooth, splinter-free finish that requires little to no sanding. Encased in Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating and featuring TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this bit resists heat, rust, and pitch buildup, ensuring a long cutting life even when working with hardwoods, softwoods, plywoods, and composites.

Key Features

  • Quadra-Cut Technology: Features 4 cutters (2 up-shear, 2 down-shear) for a glass-smooth finish with no rework.
  • Elegant Profile: Creates a detailed Ogee curve with a precise Fillet step for a refined look.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary carbide blend stays sharper longer than standard bits.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating prevents heat buildup, rust, and resin adhesion.
  • Heavy-Duty Shank: 1/2" shank provides maximum stability and reduced vibration for cleaner cuts.
  • Versatile Application: Safe for use on both hand-held and table-mounted routers.
  • Material Compatibility: Cuts cleanly through composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and softwood.

Pro-Tip: The 1/2" shank on this bit allows for greater stability than smaller shanks. To take full advantage of this, ensure the bit is fully inserted into the collet (pulling it back slightly about 1/16" to 1/8" so it doesn't bottom out) to minimize vibration and achieve the cleanest possible "Fillet" line on your workpiece.
