Roman Ogee Forming Bit

The Westward 16Y558 is a carbide-tipped router bit designed to cut a Roman Ogee profile. Its 1-1/2 inch cutter diameter produces the distinctive S-shaped moulding in a single pass. The 1/2 inch shank fits standard collets on both fixed-base and plunge routers. Weighing 0.3 lb, it is light enough for extended hand-held routing without fatigue.

Carbide Edges For Clean Profile Cuts

Woodworkers shaping decorative edges on furniture, cabinetry or trim will appreciate the long-lasting carbide tips. The fractional-inch sizing matches common imperial stock dimensions. Shops that require metric profiles or a different ogee radius should select an alternative bit. Buyers needing a bearing-guided version for template work must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How does the carbide tip hold up during long forming runs?

The carbide tip resists wear on the Roman Ogee profile, keeping the 1-1/2 in cutter diameter accurate through extended use.

Does the 1/2 in shank stay cool and quiet when the bit runs all day?

The 1/2 in shank provides rigid mounting that limits vibration and heat buildup during continuous routing sessions.
