traditional raised panel router bit

I am trying to build a raised panel with a traditional profile. The panel is a replacement for an existing one. The original panel is 1/2 inch thick with a 1/4″ tongue.
All the router bits that I have been able to find are for either 3/4″ or 5/8″ stock. Does anyone know of a bit that can cut a traditional profile on 1/2 ” stock? Preferably a vertical bit.
Thanks,

Define traditional. Ogee, bevel, cove etc. etc.

Bevel - I called it traditional because most profiles I saw referred to it that way.

Has some listed under vertical panel raising Bits. I have used the cove one but they have other profiles listed. Because your piece will be going through vertically you will need to extend your fence for support and it will help if you can make an oversize feather board to maintain contact with the fence.
I could go to 5/8" stock but most of the on-line specs could use more detail. Freud seems to provide the most.I think the CMT bit would work with 5/8" stock but it's not clear. Are there others?
