Router Bit?

They also come in sets but I doubt you will find a set with an
'oversize' bearing to allow the work to be cut proud of the pattern.
But you could buy a big bearing.

I have one of their rabbeting bits that came with a set of bearings.
The bit cuts beautifully and I can use the bearings on other bits I
have too. Good quality and good prices.

spline 1/16" proud on a bread board top

There is a bit called "overhand trim bit" which may be what you are looking
for.

I sound to me like you're looking for a set of collars for your router.
