Jason,

Grizzly has this bull nose bit with a 1/4" diameter, perfect for the bead. Cost is $11.95. This will do the bead in one pass.

They also have an internal radius bit with a 1/4" diameter for $11.95. Or a 1/4" core box bit for $7.95. Eiter of these should work for the cove.

Can anybody think of a reason not to use these bits.

Does the cutter diameter make a difference in the cut? It seems like the larger cutter diameter may cut the wood a little more gradually.
