Freud 38-106 Roman Ogee Router Bit 1-3/8 Inches

Product Description

The FREUD 38-106 is a 1-3/8 inch Roman Ogee router bit designed for decorative edge profiling on cabinets, molding, furniture, millwork, and plaques. The bit features a 1/4 inch large radius, a 3/8 inch bearing, and a 23/32 inch carbide cutting height, delivering the classic S-curve ogee profile in a single pass. The 1/2 inch shank provides solid engagement in both handheld and table-mounted router collets. Overall length is 2-9/16 inches. Carbide construction handles repeated passes on hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composite materials without requiring frequent edge dressing.

The 38-106 is suited for residential and light commercial millwork applications where a consistent Roman Ogee profile is required. Typical installs include cabinet door edge treatment, face-frame decorative edging, furniture rail profiling, and custom molding runs. The bearing-guided design allows the bit to follow stock edges without a fence, making it practical for both router table setups and handheld freehand work. Compatible materials include solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, and other composite sheet goods.
