Do face moulding router bits come in 1/4" shanks?
I recently purchased a Ryobi table router, and not really knowing anything about the whole process, bought some bits at the store as well. Well, turns out the collet is 1/4", whereas the shanks are 1/2" thick that I am looking to use. I have looked online and am starting to believe that face moulding bits do not come in 1/4" shanks, although I'm hoping someone else can tell me otherwise.
Also, I'm hoping for the width of the moulding to be around 2" thick (I know, most are 2 1/4"). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Most routers allow the user to change collets, so try looking for a 1/2" collet for your particular router. The manufacturer likely would be able to supply the part. In the long run, it's much better to have two collets (or even more) since it gives you more flexibility and more choices when it comes to buying bits.
As far as 1/4" shanks go, they typically are featured only on bits under about 1" in length, and not on any pattern that requires a deep cut. Here are two molding bit that may match your needs. Models 91811 and 91859 are 1" high:

If a 1/2" collet is not available, one possibility for making a 2" molding with these bits would be to run each piece twice, creating a mirrored image of the first pass. Simply flip your piece over and run the bearing along the same strip of wood used on the first pass. As always, take off a little bit at a time. This is true also of 1/2" shank bits. Your cut will be smoother and you'll save time on sanding.
Here is a selection of other bits that you can browse through:

Hope this helps, and happy woodworking!
