Which router bit do I need to create this profile (see attached photo and description)? I have several bathroom vanity drawer fronts that need replacing.

Thanks in advance!!!

welcome to the forum M.E.
spend a few minutes cruising the internet for Router Bit Profiles and get familiar with the names. The profile that you show is called a RoundOver.
buy bits as you need them, not necessarily in a "kit" form will save you money in the long run.

Thanks! I have done that for a couple of days and haven't come across the correct one yet. I will continue to look, but hoping that someone on this forum will see it and know offhand which one it is.

That's a fairly common Beading bit. Like this....

This is a Freud Quadra Cut bit. Four cutters to make amazingly smooth cuts. Here are two images of different bit types. Very useful because they show the profile the cutter makes.

Found it! Thanks so much for the quick replies!

Gee, I forgot to welcome you to the Forum. I've also attached a pdf of the 18 plus things that helped me accelerate my learning curve. Hopefully it will same you some of the expensive mistakes I made. It's long, but has pictures.

That's called a 1/4" bead and quarter round. A roundover doesn't produce the lip at the bearing.

I like the bits where you can change out the bearings to get different profiles. such as the bead bits mentioned.

I love them, too. I've had to order hard to find special sizes to get the necessary profile I needed to match multi-bit profile cuts. They make the job a lot easier and safer than fiddling with a fence.

Here's a youtube on lubricating router bit bearings. I bought a small tube with a needle tip to lube mine. A drop'l do ya.
