Cone shaped holes. |

|
|
Bolts used to steady and adjust. |
|
|
|
I held the bulb up while adjusting the bolts. This was the most time consuming part as the bulb needed to match the frame. |
|
|
|
Router mounted and ready to go. |
|
|
|
Even had a hook up to the shop vacuum. This did not work as the lead shavings just flew out. |
|
|
|
1st pass. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Added plastic skirts to the frame and router base and cloth to keep the lead shavings some what contained. |
|
|
|
|
After the final pass. |
|
|
|
The bucket in the lower corner is what I took off both halves. |
