Freud 85-005 1/2" Radius Ogee Bowl Bit delivers a precise, professional finish where solid surface countertops meet sink bowls. Designed specifically for solid surface fabrication, this bit creates a graceful ogee edge that rounds the top surface and subtly dips into the bowl face with a convex profile, delivering a seamless, showroom-worthy transition.

Key features that set this bit apart

• 1/2" radius ogee profile provides an elegant, classic curve that complements the clean lines of solid surface sinks.
• Convex dipping action into the bowl face creates a flush seam with a refined look and reduced visible joints.
• Non-marring synthetic bearings protect the finished surface of the bowl during routing, minimizing scuffing and chatter.
• Specially formulated carbide optimized for solid surface materials, ensuring durable edges and crisp, consistent cuts over time.
• Hand-held portable router compatible—designed for shop or on-site fabrication, giving you flexibility and control.
• Depth-specific design allows you to choose a cutting depth that perfectly matches the bowl you’re using, ensuring a precise fit every time.

How to use

Pair the Freud 85-005 with a handheld portable router and set the cutting depth to match your solid surface sink bowl. Use steady, back-and-forth passes to build the ogee profile gradually, checking fit as you go. The non-marring bearings help maintain a clean surface on the bowl, while the carbide edge holds its sharpness through multiple passes on materials like Corian, Hi-Macs, and Wilsonart solid surfaces.

Ideal applications

• Residential and commercial solid surface countertops with integrated or undermount sink bowls
• Custom vanity tops and bathroom remodels requiring a refined ogee edge
• Fabrication projects where a precise seam between countertop and bowl edge matters for visual continuity

Why choose this bit?

• Built for precision where solid surface quality matters most, delivering a tight, professional edge every time.
• Maintains surface integrity with non-marring bearings, protecting the finished bowl during routing.
• Durable carbide construction designed to handle repeated use in solid surface fabrication, reducing workload and downtime.
