Freud 38-224 1-1/2 Inch Dia Quadra-Cut Ogee Fillet Router Bit 1/2 Inch Shank Decorative Edging Tool for Woodworking Cabinets Furniture and Millwork

Create Exquisite Profiles with the Freud Quadra-Cut Ogee Fillet Router Bit

Transform simple wood edges into elegant architectural details with the Freud 38-224 1-1/2" Quadra-Cut Ogee Fillet Router Bit. Engineered for the demanding woodworker, this bit produces a sophisticated profile that features a generous 1/4" radius Ogee curve accented by a crisp, flat Fillet step. It is the ultimate choice for adding professional-grade decorative molding to cabinets, furniture tops, plaques, and millwork. With its substantial 1/2" shank, this bit provides exceptional stability and reduced vibration, making it safe and effective for use in both hand-held and table-mounted portable routers.

The 38-224 distinguishes itself with Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut™ design. Unlike standard router bits that utilize only two cutting edges, this tool employs four: two large up-shear cutters to remove the bulk of the material efficiently, and two smaller down-shear cutters to perform a precise finishing pass. This advanced geometry delivers a glass-smooth, splinter-free finish that requires virtually no sanding. Protected by Freud’s exclusive Red Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating and crafted from TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, this bit resists heat, rust, and pitch buildup, ensuring superior longevity even when cutting hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: The "Fillet" is the flat step in the profile. To make it pop, ensure your workpiece is perfectly square before routing. If using a router table, use feather boards to keep the stock pressed firmly against the fence and table, ensuring the fillet depth remains consistent along the entire length of the board.
