Freud 39-522 3/4 Inch Diameter Top Bearing Ogee Fillet Groove Router Bit 1/4 Inch Shank Carbide Template Tool for Woodworking

Create Classic Paneling Effects and Decorative Edges with Precision

Achieve the sophisticated look of traditional cabinetry and millwork with the Freud 39-522 3/4" Diameter Top Bearing Ogee Fillet Groove Router Bit. This specialized tool is designed to cut a symmetrical ogee profile that terminates in a clean fillet, creating a flat-bottomed groove that perfectly mimics the appearance of panel construction. Because it features a top-mounted bearing, this bit is uniquely suited for template work, allowing you to follow guides placed on top of your workpiece to route decorative designs into doors, drawer fronts, and panels with absolute accuracy.

Engineered for professional reliability, the 39-522 is equipped with Freud’s premium TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide. This proprietary micrograin formulation delivers a sharper cutting edge and exceptional durability, effortlessly slicing through hardwood, softwood, plywood, and abrasive composite materials. The bit is shielded by Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which prevents heat buildup, corrosion, and the accumulation of pitch. Whether used in a hand-held router for intricate template work or a table-mounted setup for edge profiling, this bit ensures a smooth, chatter-free finish.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When using a top-bearing bit for template work, always double-check that your template is securely fastened to the workpiece (using clamps or double-sided tape). Ensure the template thickness is sufficient for the bearing to ride smoothly against it without the cutting edge contacting the template itself.
