The molding head would be the best choice. For that type of profile, it is
far more efficient. Yes, look in the Yellow Pages under "grinding, tool and
cutter".

That is a very interesting approach. I realized that I have this old
Craftsman
(sorry for the spelling) moulding head that holds three blades/knives. It
would
work, in theory -- it is would cut deep enough, unlike a standard setup on
a bench
shaper. Maybe I could have knives made for it rather than altering the
router bit.
Do I look for "Tool Grinders" in the Yellow Pages? Or, does anyone know
of an
on-line or mail order source for such a thing? I have detailed CAD/dxf
drawings of
profile.

Thanks.
