Quad bead cutter for shaper (or router)?

I've found *lots* of sources for *triple* bead cutters similar to this:
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.cfm?itemnumber=C2095

Anybody know of a source for something like this that will cut four (or more)
beads at a time? I'd prefer a shaper cutter, but router bits will do.

Yes, I know I can make multiple passes. I'll be doing that anyway, as I need
to put at least eight beads (ten would be better) on a board. With a
triple-bead cutter, I'll have to make three passes, including resetting the
cutter height (or adding spacers, or putting the wood on a purpose-build
sled). I figure that, with a four-bead cutter, I could make one pass, flip the
board, and make a second pass, without readjusting anything.

TIA...

Cool - thanks, Bob. All I came up with when I searched was single- and
triple-bead cutters. Didn't see that one. That'll do pretty well, I think.

Looks a bit scary - I'm accustomed to the safety cutters. Either way, though,
the shaper demands (and gets) respect.

Received a pricecutter.com paper catalog today and there on the front
page is a photo of a router bit that will cut five beads. It is a
tenoning bit with wide flanges top and bottom but perhaps you can use it.

Did a little more searching and of course all roads lead to Amazon - who
say - Not Available. But search on the part number - oh hell, here I am
trying to tell you how to search.......;-)

Yer welcome - hope you can find it. Looks like a real finger-getter too.
