I think I'm seeing the problem much clearer now. I need to sleep on it to come up with a good answer. At this moment, I would suggest using a template in a sinewave form on the flats. That way you could do several rows of waves. I think that's a better option than trying to use reciprocator. I'll sleep on it!
