I am trying to make a half round edge on a piece of oak with a 1/4" round
over on top and bottom. For reasons I won't bore you with, I can't use a
1/4" round over bit on one side and then flip the workpiece over and use
it
on the other side. I have a router table with a fence. I'm thinking about
buying a bull nose router bit to get the job done smoothly. Can I push the
wood along the fence with this bit or must I use a hand router and guide?

Both the two 1/4 and the bullnose would require the same fencing setup. Ad
hoc fence with the image of the bit cut into it, and ride the 'nose. If you
could fence the one, you can fence the other. The advantage of the table
over the hand-held should be obvious.
