Dealguy11 (Steve) is the main man for these especially if you're doing a lot of different sizes from the same basic design.

There is a good thread here - viewtopic.php?t=38240 - and there are a fair few others on the forum on the same subject.

It's certainly possible to make 1 piece MDF doors with 1/4 shank form bits, though you may be somewhat limited on what profiles you can do depending on what bits you have available. I assume you're wanting to use form bits to make the process faster, which is a good idea. You should always use form bits where possible for this kind of work.

Do you have a specific set of profiles in mind? I could write an essay on this, but it would be quicker if we could address a specific example.
