Freud 39-524 5/32" Radius Top Bearing Fillet Ogee Groove Bit with 3/8" Shank is a precision router bit engineered to deliver a refined ogee profile that ends in a subtle fillet. The built-in top bearing guides the cut along templates, rails, or edge profiles with consistent depth, while the 3/8" shank provides rigidity for controlled, vibration-free routing on handheld or table-mounted machines.

What makes this bit standout

• Profile details: symmetrical ogee shape with a 5/32" radius, finishing in a delicate fillet for a clean, architectural look
• Flat-bottom groove: creates the optical illusion of panel construction on doors, drawer fronts, and decorative panels
• Top bearing guidance: enables precise routing along templates or edge guides, promoting repeatable results across multiple pieces
• Material versatility: designed to work effectively with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composite materials
• Shank compatibility: 3/8" shank fits a wide range of routers, delivering stability and less deflection during cuts

Why you’ll love it for your projects

Use the Freud 39-524 to add distinctive edge details to cabinetry, furniture trim, and architectural accents. The combination of a robust ogee profile and the refined end fillet creates a sophisticated edge that stands out on traditional and contemporary pieces alike. Pair this bit with a guided template to reproduce consistent profiles across multiple components, such as cabinet doors, drawer fronts, picture frames, or decorative panels.

Ideal use cases

• Cabinet doors and drawer fronts needing a decorative edge with a subtle panel illusion
• Furniture trim and frame-and-panel assemblies where a clean ogee contour is desired
• Shelves, mantels, and architectural trim that benefit from a refined, classical profile
• Signage or decorative panels that require a precise ogee groove with a finished fillet

Tips for the best results

• Test cuts on scrap stock to dial in depth and feed rate before working on your final piece
• Keep the bit sharp and cut with steady, even pressure to maintain crisp edges
• Secure long workpieces firmly to prevent deflection and produce uniform profiles
• Use a template or guide rail when chasing along an edge to ensure consistent curvature
