Can you use a router for this?

[Elnovis]

I want to make my own moldings for the simple reason that those available on the market don't always fit. I have a Festool plunge saw with a guide rail that is very precise, so that part is no problem. I'm thinking of cutting the molding in about 18 mm MDF. Now to the problem. I want the molding to be slightly rounded so that it isn't sharp on the edge. I've attached a picture showing how. The rounding doesn't need to be large. I exaggerated a bit in the picture to make it clear. Can you use a router for this, and if so, how do you do it?

You can just use a regular kantfräs.

You can just use a regular edge router.

Do you mean something like this?

Yes.

But if you already have a hand router, there are edge cutters with ball bearings that do the same job. That way, you don't have to buy another machine, even though I myself have bought a specific edge router for the purpose

Since I also plan to make my own floor moldings, but will start from planed pine (the floor is pine in our case).

Thank you so much for the tip. It seems simpler than I thought
