I have started to make the grinding rest from Harrold Hall but only the round parts so far. The rest calls for dovetail cutters can I get away using one cutter if so what size would be best as the cutters come in different diameters and angles, this may seem a odd question but I seem to buy stuff and find that I wished I had got another size.

Thanks Bob.
