1-3/8" x 2-1/4" Roman Ogee Bit, 1/4" Shank

Roman Ogee Router Bit For Decorative Profiles

Roman Ogee router bit by Bosch gives you a classic decorative edge for trim, doors, and furniture parts when a shaped profile is required. This router bit is a Roman Ogee pattern, so it cuts a traditional S-curve detail that suits period furniture and formal work. The bit has a 1/4 inch shank, allowing use in routers designed for this common shank size on many jobsite and shop tools. The 1-3/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch size defines the cutting envelope, helping you plan edge widths and passes on wider stock. The bit is classified under router bits and profiling, tying it directly to edging and shaping tasks in woodworking. With a Bosch manufacturer part number 85271M, the bit can be referenced consistently for repeat orders and matching setups across different projects.

Key Profiling Details That Support Clean Work

• The two flutes on this router bit provide paired cutting edges, which help balance the cut and support smoother decorative edging passes in typical woodworking applications.
• The carbide tipped cutting edges are designed to handle extended routing, giving the edge profile consistency over multiple workpieces in a furniture or trim run.
• The ball bearing pilot at the base of the cutter guides the bit along an edge, helping you track the Roman Ogee profile against the workpiece without separate fences in many setups.
• The bit is described for decorative edging, which aligns it directly with visible work such as face frames, rails, and moldings where the finished profile appearance matters.
• The same Roman Ogee profile is noted for period furniture, connecting this bit to restoration or reproduction jobs where matching traditional shapes is important on project components.

Router Bit Dimensions And Shank Fit Considerations

This Bosch Roman Ogee router bit uses a 1/4 inch shank, so it fits collets designed for that shank diameter in many routers and laminate trimmers. The 1-3/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch size sets expectations for the overall cutter geometry, which helps you judge how much edge material will be shaped on a decorative pass. Being part of the router bits profiling category, the bit is oriented toward edge shaping rather than drilling or boring, which informs how it is integrated into a routing workflow. The manufacturer designation as a Roman Ogee bit with a 1/4 inch radius and 1/4 inch shank further refines how the curve transitions on the edge, affecting the visual weight of the profile on doors or furniture parts.

Using This Bosch Roman Ogee Bit In Woodshops

Where This Roman Ogee Router Bit Excels

This Bosch Roman Ogee router bit is described specifically for decorative edging, so it suits tasks like shaping cabinet doors, table tops, and face frames where the profile is visible. The Roman Ogee shape is aligned with period furniture, making it a fit for traditional design language on rails, stiles, and moldings. Positioned in the profiling class of router bits, it plays a role whenever an edge needs contouring rather than straight trimming, which can streamline layout when multiple profiles are planned. The ball bearing pilot allows the bit to follow an existing edge or template, which can be useful when repeating an ogee detail along curved or straight stock in a small production run.

Details That Support Repeatable Profiles And Results

The two flutes on this Bosch router bit create paired cutting edges, which support a more even load around the rotation, benefiting repeat passes on similar stock in a run. Carbide tipped construction focuses the cutting on harder edges than high-speed steel could provide, supporting profile consistency over longer use in a cabinet or furniture shop setting. The ball bearing pilot positions the cutting edges relative to the workpiece edge, helping maintain a consistent Roman Ogee reveal from piece to piece when following the same reference surface. The noted 1/4 inch radius and Roman Ogee pattern define the curvature, so once a project is laid out, the same Bosch 85271M bit can be used again to match earlier jobs or replacement parts. Being part of the router bits profiling category, it can be grouped with other shaping tools in a workflow, which can simplify planning of multiple passes for trim or furniture components.
