...so in use it makes contact only on the narrow strip on the right-hand side, and on the piece the center pin is in, on the left?
Don't believe everything you know.

Nice to find one already built. Glad it works for you. I made an adjustable jig that uses the Stewmac base and dremel it works well but would like to try something like you have with my Dewalt trim router.

I know the first photo isn't clear. The cutter base and slide are one piece. Here are additional photos that will help.

Thanks to all for your advice. I am getting anxious to get this uke done. I think the learning is steep for that first instrument.
Diane, by the time I saw your offer I'd ordered the Stewmac gear! You might have saved me some money. But someone more patient than me will benefit I expect.

So I installed my first Rosette! I'm pretty happy with the results. Here's a picture, this is a tenor ukulele using an LMI plan.
