Freud Router Bit 38-452 1 1/4 In Double Fillet Ogee Edging (1/4 In Shank Quadra-Cut TiCo Carbide Perma-SHIELD 18000 Max RPM Woodworking)

Freud 38-452 1-1/4 Inch Double Fillet Ogee Quadra-Cut Router Bit

The Freud 38-452 is a 1-1/4-inch overall diameter double fillet ogee decorative edging router bit engineered to mill stepped S-curve profiles with dual flat fillets into furniture rims, cabinet doors, and architectural millwork. Built with a 1/4-inch shank and Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut™ 4-cutter design, two main cutters perform bulk material removal while two shear-up finishing cutters trim the edge to eliminate cross-grain splintering and sanding steps. Tipped with TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide and protected by a heat-resistant Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating, this bit operates at speeds up to 18,000 RPM across solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites in handheld or table-mounted routers.

Best Used For:

• Architectural Cabinetry & Drawer Edging: Milling double-fillet ogee shadow lines on cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and face frames.
• Furniture Tabletop Profiling: Shaping stepped S-curve perimeter borders onto hardwood dining tables, desks, and mantle tops.
• Plaque & Display Frame Detailing: Cutting decorative outer edge profiles into solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite wood stock.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Quadra-Cut™ 4-Cutter Technology: Employs two primary stock-removal cutters and two shear-up finishing cutters to yield glass-smooth cuts without cross-grain tearout.
• TiCo™ Hi-Density Micrograin Carbide: Custom-formulated carbide tips offer exceptional wear resistance and hold sharp cutting edges significantly longer than standard carbide.
• Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating: Protective red fluoropolymer coating resists pitch buildup, resin accumulation, and rust formation on the bit body.
• Precision Pilot Ball Bearing: Integrated 3/8-inch guide bearing ensures uniform edge tracking along straight and curved workpiece profiles.
• Computer-Balanced Anti-Kickback Design: Body profile restricts cut depth per revolution to lower kickback risks during manual stock feeding.
• Universal Router System Compatibility: Engineered for stable operation in both portable hand-held routers and stationary router tables.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Set your router variable speed controller to a maximum of 18,000 RPM and take two light passes when routing dense hardwoods like cherry or oak; leaving 1/32 inch of stock for the final pass ensures clean top and bottom fillet steps without burning.
