't turn one up. But since a 1/4" shank could not have a 1/4" bearing mounted above the bit, not sure if you couldn't just use a 1/4" straight bit?

Allen Lung:
A "pattern" bit, or "template bits" have the bearing between the cutter and the shank.

this case I don't think it's physically possible to have a 1/4" pattern bit unless the shank were 1/8".
A "flush trim" bit has the bearing first, then the cutter and then the shank.

this case I'd claw around the CMT, Freud or Whiteside sites and see what you can scare up.

Yup. I know he asked for a pattern cutting bit, but this is probably what he wanted, or at least it'll probably do the job. I find that most people use the names interchangeably.
