I am making Mike Pekovich’s side table from a single board and he uses a neat trick to clean up the tops of the table legs. By using a router table with bottom cleanup bit and a bearing he is able to clean the surface much like cleaning up the sides of a band sawn tenon. However, I can’t find a source for the bit- mostly because the blade portion is only about 1/4 inch deep… I chedked the usual sources. Anyone know where to find such a bit?

Whiteside Machine Company has a couple of bits that would do the trick e.g., 3000A.

This is perfect, thanks so much! You saved me a lot of work.
Know this is an old post, but: The wonder of the forum... I was in the same spot as ClaudiaMay just this afternoon. Couldn't find a comparable bit online... was wrestling with how to safely and accurately make this cut with a higher cutting length bearing bit (cut needs to be made 8 times consistently).
A quick lil' search on the forum and viola! I'll be trimming the top of the legs tomorrow! Thank you Forrest and Claudia!
The old FWW Knots forum was a primary source of practical advice & education for me, for many years. A primary teacher of my WW skills and knowledge. There's a wealth of experience available, from both current habitués of this forum but also from the thousands of past-posts going back years and years. Many of the good contributors are now dead of age!
The present forum isn't as technically well-organised and presented as the old Knots forum was. For the modern age, it's a very kklunky way to present posts that can serve as a valuable historical information bank. There seems to be no one really in charge of the FWW forum in any coherent fashion, perhaps because FWW have outsourced it's provision to a generic forum provider that doesn't really know or care about the nature of woodworking advice and how it's generated and used.
On the other hand, the search for summick works .... sometimes. :-)

Here is a 1/8" cutting height bit that looks exactly like the one Mike used in the video by Amana. On Amazon:
