I just bought a new D4R (I paid $357 new, is that gloatworthy) and have several (probably dumb) questions.
1) I have been making dovetails with the jig, just practicing on pine, getting the hang of the thing...will I get less chipout and/or better cuts if I buy the Whiteside bits (I am "all Whiteside all the time) or are the ones that came with it as good?
2) If I am making a dovetail chest (like this one)
is the front panel (as opposed to the two sides or back) a "pin board" or a "tail board"?
3) If I am making a bookcase, and I want to dovetail the top to the sides, is the top a "pin board" or a "tail board"?
I am sure I will have more dumb questions soon...thanks for the help.
