Jim, Here's a few for mine. Mine differs from Del's somewhat. I chose to lift the bridge to a hold down rather than lower the entire cutter and carriage assembly onto the bridge. The result is similar, but the construction is simpler. The aggravation of height adjustment within the bridge set is, however, common to either. I used a 2" diameter shaper cutter, and powered it with an old router, stepped down with timing belts and pulleys to provide both the appropriate rpm range, and adequate power.
