I think I have found the solution with help from all of you. The right
answer is to take the bearing off of the my round over bit. That way I can
get the wood close enough to round over the flip side without the bearing
getting in the way. I can use my fence to control the offset of the wood
from the bit. I have posted a drawing of what I am trying to do on apbw if
you care. In any case, thanks so much for your effective help as usual.

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?

TIA.
