Add Sophisticated Detail with the Quadra-Cut Classical Roman Ogee Bit

Enhance the beauty and value of your woodworking projects with the Freud 38-402 1-1/4" Classical Roman Ogee Router Bit. This premium bit creates a timeless Roman Ogee profile, characterized by a convex curve flowing seamlessly into a concave radius. It is the perfect choice for adding decorative edges to tabletops, plaques, cabinet doors, and architectural millwork. Featuring Freud's patented Quadra-Cut™ design, this bit employs four cutting edges—two large cutters for shearing away the bulk of the material and two smaller cutters for finishing—resulting in an incredibly smooth, splinter-free surface that requires little to no sanding.

Built for professional performance and longevity, the 38-402 is tipped with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This specialized micrograin formula stays sharper up to four times longer than standard carbide, ensuring crisp cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composites. The tool body is protected by the signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which reduces friction, prevents overheating, and resists rust and resin buildup. Equipped with a high-quality ball bearing pilot, this bit glides smoothly along straight or curved edges, making it suitable for both hand-held and table-mounted routers.

Key Features

  • Quadra-Cut™ Design: Four-cutter geometry provides a flawless finish that virtually eliminates sanding.
  • Classical Profile: Creates the elegant Roman Ogee edge for furniture and millwork.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary blend delivers superior edge retention and durability.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating resists heat, corrosion, and pitch accumulation.
  • Versatile Application: Perfect for routing hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites.
  • Router Compatibility: Safe for use on both hand-held routers and table-mounted router systems.
  • Precision Balanced: Computer-balanced to minimize vibration and ensure chatter-free cuts.

Pro-Tip: The Quadra-Cut design is especially beneficial when routing cross-grain on hardwoods like oak or cherry. To get the absolute best finish, ensure you are not forcing the router; let the four cutters do the work at a steady pace. If you experience burning, double-check that your feed rate isn't too slow and that your bit is clean of pitch.
