My wife and I are doing a kitchen remodel, and we got quotes for doing some modifications to our island (removing door cabinets, and putting in some drawers and trashcan pullout instead), but the quote was pretty high. I'm a pretty handy guy and like to try some new things so I decided to do the cabinet customization myself. I've done a light search online for a router bit that would replicate what I have existing on my drawer faces, but have begun to realize that I may need some help to identify what type I need. I am hoping some of you will be able to point me in the right direction. I don't need an exact match, similar would be nice though. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Welcome to the forum, Adam.
Professional cabinet makers may well have dedicated shaper bits for their drawer and door edges.
Do the new drawers have to be the same profile?
You may need a number of profiles to make that end result.

I recall seeing a guide to the to the use of different profiles. I will see if I can find that.

You might need something like this.

MULTI-PROFILE CUTTER ROUTER BITS

With this single bit you can produce an almost unlimited array of beautiful large and small moldings quickly and easily. Create more than 40 different profiles simply by adjusting the height of the bit, the depth of the fence on the router table and flipping or rotating stock. Carbide tipped.

Welcome to Router Forums, @AdamL . Have you considered this bit sold by Infinity Cutting Tool?Multi-Radius Router Bit w/ 3-Pc. Bearing Kit or this bit sold by Eagle America. Framing Bead Bit

I have a feeling that you may need several router bits for that edge and multiple passes over the router table. A beading bit would produce several beads like the face edges, but would require passing the work over the bit at an angle. The back rabbet could be cut on a table saw, if the tiny rounded inside corner isn't absolutely required. If this has to be an exact match, probably the only way is to have a specially made router bit or two to duplicate this. Custom router bits may be too expensive if just for one job. You might also look into the cutters by Carob Cutters for a way to do this, as their standard cutters offer many variations not available in router bits. Their specially made cutters might also be cheaper than having custom router bits made too.

@AdamL I’ve been thinking about your project. I’m absolutely certain what the total length is to which you want to apply the profile and I have no idea how you feel about hand tools. It seems to me you might consider a “beading tool“. This one uses spring steel,blades, and you can create a blade with you desire=rd profile. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/73766-cast-scratch-stock?item=15P1710

There are many hundreds of bits with all kinds of profiles. Get a catalog from any of the suppliers, Freud, Whitehead, etc and you may find that very profile. I know I've seen a bit like that somewhere. Kind of like a double ogee bit. Here's a picture of different kinds of bits as a starting point.

Maybe a double roman ogee would look similar.
