Router Bit for Beaded Inset Cabinets

| Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
Hi,
I am finding it difficult to locate a router bit, for beaded inset cabinets. I think a 3/16 inch beading or pencil bit is what I should use. I am trying to emulate Norm’s approach on the NYW. If anyone could refer me to a dealer/manufacturer, I would appreciate it. (Prefer a 1/2 inch bit).
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but I've had recent success making bead board doors with these:

I think you are making beaded face frames for inset doors and drawers.
Eagle have 3/16" beading bit that is made for them by Whiteside. I found that 1/8" bead was too wimpy and 1/4" too big. Curiously, Whiteside do not sell a 3/16". They come in either 1/4" or 1/2" shank.

I've been looking at beading bits, as well. Eagle has both multiple and single bead versions:
