A roundover router bit with edge guide:

I got one like this with my first router over 30 years ago (Sears 1/4 hp, 1/4" dia. bits). The "bearing" surface is attached to the bit and tends to burn the wood. This pre-dates the use of bearings used on new roundover bits. You can see the accumulation of debris on the bearing edge from this burning action.

Looks like 1/4" shaft dia. and perhaps 1/4" roundover radius.
