So I'm looking for some Home shop machinist plans that I can follow.
I've spent some time googling but could not find anything similar.

It looks simple enough....a square based block (cube) with a square
hole in it of proper size and a 360 degree dial on the end. There's
probably a setscrew to lock the bit into the holder and the holder
into the block at the proper angle.
I'm still thinking you may need the tilting table to get the proper
rake.

Nah , just rotate the holder to the correct angle , hold the block at an
angle to the stone . Rotation in two axes can produce an exact angle in the
third . That's how trim guys cut the miter angles in crown mold that's laid
flat in the saw .
