Freud 38-452 1-1/4 Inch Double Fillet Ogee Router Bit 1/4 Inch Shank Quadra-Cut TiCo Carbide Decorative Edging Tool for Woodworking

Add Distinctive Character with Flawless Quadra-Cut Precision

Transform ordinary wood edges into elegant architectural details with the Freud 38-452 1-1/4" Double Fillet Ogee Router Bit. This sophisticated profile features a classic S-shaped ogee curve framed by two flat "fillets" (steps) at the top and bottom, adding immediate depth and shadow lines to cabinets, furniture, plaques, and millwork. Ideally suited for the discerning woodworker, this bit utilizes Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut™ design. By employing four cutting edges—two large cutters to remove bulk material and two smaller cutters to trim the surface—it produces an ultra-fine, splinter-free finish that requires little to no sanding.

Engineered for durability in a professional production environment, the 38-452 is tipped with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This specialized micrograin formula is designed to hold a razor-sharp edge longer than standard carbide, even when routing abrasive materials like plywood and composites. The tool body is protected by the signature Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which minimizes friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists pitch and resin accumulation. Equipped with a high-quality ball bearing pilot, this bit tracks smoothly along straight or curved edges, ensuring precision in both hand-held and table-mounted routers.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: The "fillets" are the small flat steps above and below the curve. To get the full decorative effect of this bit, ensure your router depth is set precisely so that both fillets cut into the wood. If the bit is set too high or too low, you may lose one of these defining steps, resulting in a less defined profile.
