Freud 85-007 1/2" Radius Ogee Bowl Bit
MPN: 85-007
Minimum order quantity is .
The Freud 85-007 1/2" Radius Ogee Bowl Bit is engineered to deliver a precise, professional edge where solid-surface countertops meet solid-surface sink bowls with an ogee profile. It trims the joint, rounds the top surface, and subtly dips into the face of the bowl with a convex finish that looks intentionally built-in rather than roughed-in.
Key features
- 1/2" radius ogee profile: Creates a bold, elegant contour that complements ogee-edged bowls for a refined transition.
- Depth-adjustable cutting: Choose the cutting depth to match the bowl geometry you’re using, ensuring a precise fit.
- Non-marring synthetic bearings: Protects the finished surface of the bowl during routing, guarding against scratches and marks.
- Carbide optimized for solid surfaces: Specially formulated carbide stands up to frequent routing on acrylics, composites, and other solid-surface materials.
- Hand-held router compatibility: Designed for use with portable routers, giving you control and flexibility on the job or in the shop.
- Trusted lineage: Part of the Freud/Diablo family, known for dependable tooling in cabinetry and solid-surface fabrication.
Why it matters
In solid-surface installations, a well-executed ogee edge on the sink bowl joint isn’t just decorative—it affects seam visibility, water management, and long-term durability. The 1/2" radius creates a smooth, continuous line that reduces snag points and helps water shed away from the joint. The convex dip into the bowl provides a forgiving transition, minimizing the risk of micro-gaps and chipping along the edge.
Use cases and ideal scenarios
- Fabricating undermount solid-surface sinks with ogee-edge bowls in kitchens, bathrooms, or custom vanity areas.
- Detailing edges on solid-surface countertops that meet integrated sink bowls for a seamless, premium look.
- Shop-ready installations or on-site work where consistent, repeatable ogee profiles are required for multiple units.
Practical tips
- Match the cutting depth to your bowl’s geometry to achieve the intended convex transition and clean edge finish.
- Maintain steady feed and appropriate router speed to maximize cut quality and minimize tear-out on solid-surface materials.
- Use the non-marring bearings as designed to protect the sink bowl surface during the routing process.
