Well I found this, what type of bit might they have used to achieve this? Click on the "Our Edges" link and look at the diagram on the far right.

My guess is they use that 60 degree bit for the inside and a 3/16 or so round over for the outside.

That is the exact bit I posted. I thought, in your book, this won't work ;)

Ron, you are correct! Here is why I thought it was the wrong bit, when I looked at it I saw a 60 degree cutter thinking it would cut a 60 degree profile. But the 60 degrees is to the shank, leaving a 30 degree chamfer. I had this backwords, who would have thought you would use a 60 degree bit to cut a 30 degree edge??? Some cabinetmaker I am,lol!

Sorry I missed that, thanks for pointing it out!

Just a little good-natured picking, Jc - thanks for taking it as such. And don't feel bad; I'm famous for poor explanations. After all, it makes sense in MY head; isn't that enough?
