I have attached an image of a profile I would like to try and make. Do you know of a router bit that can make this profile or a technique that would allow me to make it from several bits and/or tools? The actual size does not need to be as exact as seen in the image as I have flexibility.

Thanks,
Drew

I would think a Chamfer Bit would do the trick, make one of the flat cuts on the table saw, then make the other side & profile with the chamfer bit with a small bearing on it...

Something like this:

I think if you used a 45 degree chamfer bit, and changed the pilot bearing to a smaller size, or possibly remove the bearing, it might give that profile in one pass.

John's idea is pretty much what I was think, with the help of a table saw cut if needed...

Good ideas on the smaller bearing.... Also, Charlie, I think that bit is perfect... if only a 45 degree. If anyone sees one let me know :)
