Have 10 minutes spare time?
I did, and slapped this thing together, I know nothing fancy schmancy, and I managed to break not 1, but 2 countersinking pilot bits… I did however get to give my HF SCMS a workout cutting the angles for this, and I am pleased as punch with the results.

jjohnston not a bad idea on the push broom width… This one matches my wide head angled broom… The push broom wasn’t even considered, stupid me sometimes I guess!
