I have been a long time lurker of the forums but I find myself in need of help. I have learned two lessons the hard way so I am trying to avoid a third. The first thing was the cheap rail and stile bits are more of a pain than the savings. I tried some no brand and they were a no fit. I wasted a Saturday only to find out it was the bits themselves that were the issue. I shelled out the money for a set of Frued rail and stile set (99-763) and was able to finish my doors with no issues. Secondly I brought a cheap router table router combo (Blue Hawk) and I am having to make due with it. The thing vibrates so much the router plate leveling screws fall off and and now I have hot glued everything in place. The only good thing is it accepts 1/2" which I now see is great for bigger projects. My Dewalt DWP611PK is good for small jobs but I needed something a little more robust. I am now looking to add a decorative profile to my cabinet doors I have built for my walk-up bar. I created 3 base cabinets (24", 30", and 18") and three wall cabinets (30"x30", 30"x30", and 18" x 36"). I would like to add a nice profile to the cabinet doors and drawer fonts but can't seem to find the correct bit on the Freud website (not very novice friendly). I am using 3/4" popular for my stock. I would like something along the lines of MLCS 7854 which is a door edge profile combined with #7856 which is a round over and ogee door lip profile.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If one bit will not create it please let me know what the steps should be to achieve such a look. Like which bit to use first.
Thanks,
