Hi,
I'm new to woodworking and have recently started making a few toys for my son and would like some advice on a router bit that will help me with making the base of a wooden train.
I'm looking for a quick and repeatable method to do the rounded end of the item circled in the picture. Each carriage has two of these rounded ends so I have a few to make.
I’m thinking of using a router, mounted in a table, and a template.
The router bit is the thing I’m unsure of….I’m thinking a SpiralFlush Trim – Up Cut would do the job.
I’m trying to avoid tear out which I learnt on a previousproject and wish to avoid.
Is this the correct router bit? Maybe there’s another methodall together that you may wish suggest.
This is the router bit.

The train body would be made from pine
