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

Elevate your architectural millwork and finish carpentry projects with the professional-grade performance of the Freud 38-202 1-1/4 Inch Diameter Ogee and Fillet Router Bit. Meticulously engineered for artisan furniture builders, cabinet makers, and custom woodworkers, this premium decorative edging tool cuts a beautiful, classic sweeping profile with a crisp accentuating fillet step. This profile is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to table edge profiles, custom picture frames, fireplace mantels, plaque displays, and cabinet doors. Designed for exceptional versatility, this industrial-grade bit maneuvers flawlessly through dense hardwoods, softwoods, cabinet-grade plywood, and engineered composites, ensuring zero tearing or surface burning on your stock material.

Uncompromising cutting endurance and precision shape tracking are fundamental features of this industrial carbide router accessory. Formulated with TiCo™ high-density micrograin titanium cobalt carbide carbide tips, the cutting edges resist catastrophic thermal degradation and maintain sharp profiles up to four times longer than standard tooling alloys. The bit is completely wrapped in Freud’s non-stick Perma-SHIELD® thermal barrier coating, which eliminates harmful resin pitch buildup and lowers feed-friction resistance for cleaner mechanical tracking. Outfitted with a versatile 1/4-inch shank diameter, this dynamically balanced profiling bit mounts securely inside handheld or table-mounted routers, utilizing an integrated ball-bearing pilot guide to smoothly trace straight or curved templates without leaving marring friction marks on polished workpieces.

Key Features

• TiCo™ Micrograin Carbide Formula: Extreme density cutter formulation maintains a razor-sharp profile edge under continuous heavy production use.
• Exclusive Perma-SHIELD® Finish: Thermal non-stick protective coating lowers feed friction resistance and halts sticky resin and pitch accumulation.
• Precision Steel Ball-Bearing Pilot: High-grade non-marring guide roller tracks contours smoothly without burning material margins.
• Computer-Balanced Drivetrain Chassis: Anti-kickback structure geometry eliminates rotational vibration to provide an extra-fine surface finish.
• Universal Wood Finishing Application: Punctures and shapes dense exotic lumber, composite panels, structural softwoods, and multi-ply veneers.
• Universal 1/4" Shank Compatibility: Fits tightly into common collet receptors on variable-speed plunge or fixed router systems.

What's Included

• (1) Freud 38-202 1-1/4" Diameter Ogee and Fillet Router Bit (1/4" Shank)
• (1) Factory Shielded Ball-Bearing Guide

Specifications

Pro-Tip: The crisp fillet (the tiny flat step) on an ogee profile is what defines high-end woodworking, but routing it in a single deep plunge pass can cause tear-out on delicate wood grain. For a professional, tear-free finish, set your router bit height to cut roughly two-thirds of the total profile depth for your first pass, removing the bulk of the material. Then, raise the bit slightly to execute a shallow, fast final pass. This technique reduces cutter strain, prevents wood scorching, and ensures your final fillet edges look exceptionally clean and sharp.
