Have I not Googled with enough intensity? Does this animal exist? Perhaps a 1/4" shank is insufficient for a bit of this size. Dave

That may be the case. I assume you are using a 3/4" radius on some thicker wood and not trying to round over a piece of 3/4" wood and want a radius of about half that. This is a good excuse to move up to a new router with 1/2" collet.
I've heard of people buying the wrong bit because they were not thinking right when they wanted to put a roundover on a 3/4" thick board. Not me, of course, I've just heard stories about it.
Yup, if you're milling a piece of 3/4" quarter round molding, then the
3/4 bit is what you need. Never seen one that big on a 1/4 shank though. j4A plus is most 1/2" collet routers also include a 1/4" insert so all the = old bits can still be used and you get the option of needing a whole new = set of bits. Just can't get enough of them. :)

Yep
You won't get one...and if you do then it won't last long.

I think I may heard of the same people...
5/8 radius is as big as I can find ( CMT-838.445.11 ) Even that is a bit big for such a small shaft. Wear a leather apron.
The bit would be at least 1-3/4" wide. IMHO that is too big for a 1/2" shank bit.
Oups, that should be too big for a 1/4" shaft.

3/4" radius on the front of a loudspeaker cabinet. Dave
Time for a new router. Poor me! I may as well ask for suggestions. Dave
