MLCS is good
I use them a fair amount in my work, and they’re a good source for router bits. Fair price, decent quality.

bead and cove
I have never built a stripper, but I am a pro cabinet maker of 20 years. I can not figure out why the commercial bead and cove bits are 1/4" in diameter. To make the best joint, I think the bits diameter should equal the strips width.

I don’t understand.
Do you mean thickness? If so most strips are ripped so they are 1/4". If you mean width, then I am really confused by what you mean.
