I have been looking for a set of bits that will make Shaker style doors. Everything I see seems to have a profile set up. Can anyone help here. Thanks

Try wwwJesada.com Also http://www.eagle-america.com I think that they have a set of shaker style stick and cope bits in one of these places.

Exactly what are you looking for. A lot of Shaker has square edges, just rabbit a slot for the pannel.
The only set Ive seen hwas noting more than a tongue and groove set with a bevel bit

I have been looking quite a bit lately for the same router bit and found that Freud has a perfect bit. It's adjustable so that the 1/4'' panel won't rattle.
Model 99-036
look it up.

There was an article in a recent (this calendar year) FWW about a small shaker cabinet built by Chris Becksvoort (sp) wherein he mentions that he had a special set of bits milled (cut? made? fab'd?) and they are available from one of the bit mfgrs. I think they are in the Rockler catalog, but not sure.
Will,
Thanks for the info. Ill check it out. Meanwhile I found one on the Eagle America web site. It has the 15 degree angle cut and is specifically designed for Shaker doors.
