I bought the Freud 99-480 base cap bit.

It does not fit the base cap moulding I got from my old lumber yard. I looked on Freud's site and on Whiteside's site but neither listed a smaller base cap bit.

The base cap moulding that I have is 3/4 x 1 1/4.
The Freud bit is 11/16 x 1 3/8.

Does anyone know of a base cap bit that would match my moulding?

Have you checked rockler or woodcraft?

Yes. Both of them sell the same bit I have. I wonder if the moulding I have was made with custom knives.

It came from Fine Lumber in Austin.

A lot of those profiles are near impossible to match. They start with a custom set of shaper knives and the profile changes ever so slightly every time they get sharpened. A custom router bit is your best bet for close enough.

I decided to stick with the new molding from the router bit.

I WILL not make any new moulding until I have a shaper with an auto feed.

I had to make something like 30 ft of moulding. Most of it is sanded and installed. I will finish installing the rest tomorrow.
