    Radiused Moulding and bottom bearing bit

    I have to make approximately 20 doors/panels that will have curved applied moulding. I typically get my applied moulding from a local supplier. I haven't checked on price with them yet but I imagine that it won't be cheap for the curved pieces. I don't have a shaper or a moulder so I'm stuck with my router table to make this stuff. I've got some ideas about how I can tackle this, none of which at this point are looking too appealing. Many of my issues would be solved if I could find a bit like the one that is pictured below. The fact that it is bottom bearing makes things so much easier. I've looked on Whiteside's, Infinity's, and Eagle America's site with no luck. Has anyone seen a profile bit like this with a bottom bearing?

    You can get 1/4 or 1/2 ID ball bearings and just run them up on the shank above the bit if you want to. You can index them up from the collet with either a thin metal sleeve or a piece of tape. Freud and other sell these.
