Ogee router bit

[Paul Girouard]

I'm searching for a ogee router bit that will cut this common profile:










I can find bigger ogee's and different shaped ogee's , but what I need is this profile to create wider window mullions that can engage this casing so three windows can be cased as one window.

I've looked at Freud, Whitesides, Grizzly, and searched the web but no joy so far in my searching.

Thanks
Paul

Great! Spelled router wrong and Photobucket not working either!

Spelling errors are common. So is the loss of value in threads that use third party images. What are the radii on the ogee or cold you post a pic of the mullion?

I not sure how to post photo's here without using Photobucket.
What's the desired way to post photo's here on the Creek?

Not sure of the radii either , the casing is 1/2" thick at the edge detail and the shoulder to the ogee is 5/8" in from the edge.
It's a very common ogee base board detail, but I've never found a router bit to make this cut. The common ogee router bits are to steep I guess I'd call it.

Maybe you need a window sash bit?

I have looked at sash bits none seem to match.

That bit looks close--- but it may not be an exact match. If it's not close enough, you may need to run the new bit on the molding to create an exact fit for the female cope cut.

You have a good eye , the bit was off just a touch, so my solution is to run the three pieces of casing thru my router table to re-cut the edge profile , which will allow us to cut the edge detail on the mullions to be mitered to fit .

I had to add a 3/16" piece of plywood to my router fence to lift the casing up to allow the cutter to engage the edge detail.

Then I can run the mullions off the same set up.

It's going to work out !

Thanks for the follow-up. Glad it's working out.

p.s. It was not a case of a sharp eye--- I've been there/done that
