The cutter's just a 1/4" lathe tool bit you can grind with the profile you want and the right relief (but the slot's milled straight so there's no back angle), and the drill center and cutter are held in with setscrews. You probably can make a much simpler one - there's a nice article, "Souped-Up Spade Bits" in Fine Woodworking 47, July/August 1984 showing almost as elaborate profiles.
