I was wondering… On the edges of my cabinet doors and drawers there is a slight curved edge.. What bit is used to do that? [External image (images.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (images.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Comp, I am with you on the cove bit for the top profile, how do you achieve the edge profile? Start with a round over bit and then the cove?
top picture is most likely achieved with a shaper versus a router, or a raised panel bit

It’ll be a little trial and error to get that profile on a router. It will likely be several passes to accomplish the taper/partial ellipse shape. It was definitely done on a larger shaper bit.

It would require multiple passes with different height adjustments on a router with a cove bit.
