Try this link to page 13 of the catalog.

Tools and Hardware,Page 13

You need two items:

1.) Microcounterstop (at the top of the page)
2.) Rivet shaver bit (fits into the microcounterstop

I would not be suprised to discover that the shaver bit itself is what is used in a more expensive shaver. You do have to have a high speed tool of some sort to drive the combination. The microcounterstop has the adjustability for depth and the shaver does the work. There are several types of tools that could drive the unit fast enough. Some sort of pnuematic driver or dremel type tool would work. Probably even a router or rotozip tool could work. I was able to do mine without any outriggers but I suppose a person could make up some sort of support if they wanted to. The microstop self centers around the rivet head by the way.
