We built a framework to clamp ontot he top of the table saw to constrian the movement of the boxes, and just lower the box onto the blade, move it about 2 inches and raise. This gives a square profile hole. If you want the commercial scooped look, then you need a shaper head and (3) blades -- available at most good tool stores. Unfortunately, they only come curved in narrower widths, so if you want the 1-1/2 or 2" wide handles, you'll have to buy a straight cutter set and grind them to the correct profile. You can then have a sharpening shop put the correct edge on them (unless you are skilled at that yourself). Regards Allen W.
