Hope someone has seen what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a roundover bit w/bearing - but one with a less dramatic roundover than "normal". Something that will produce a roundover akin to a bullnose half radius bit
looking for router bit
scratch stock?

I don't know what you mean...
I saw a new bit, called a furniture bit. Not sure if it's near the radius you require, but try MLCS.
a scratch stock is a shop made profiling device. it's easy to make, leaves a nicer surace than a router and lets you make any profile you want. it's also cheap or free to do, depending on what you have on hand.

Thanks - I learned something new by reading up on scratch stock making
Can you take a large roundover bit and just use part of it?

I tried that and couldn't get a satisfactory edge - was either too flat at the bottom of the cut, or too round at the top, depending on how much of the bit I used. Maybe with a much larger roundover bit it would have worked, But, I suspect it'd have to be really big.
Sound like you are looking for a thumbnail bit. Try Eagle-america.com.
