I'm wanting to "carve" some vertical 3/8" (or 1/2") flutes in shelf corbels for lots of shelves. The cross-section of these flutes will be like a circular sine curve. I want a router bit with a semicircular end, like a core box bit, but with a quarter-circular wing on each side, like a rounding over bit. Although somewhat flatter than this severe section that I have described. Thus a core box bit and a round-over bit would be unsuitable, even if I could get the accuracy in three passes for every flute. Anyone have any ideas where I might find a suitable bit? I've looked at many sites without success. I would have guessed this profile was common, until I started searching.
