Hello
Yes that is the same 90 bit I used. I have tried some 60 degree bits and maybe a 30 degree. I thought the 30 cut too deep to make it useful. The 60 was okay but again cut deep to get trace spacing. The 90 cuts shallow to get good spacing.
The trick here is to measure the board and compensate for the board not laying flat or being tipped. If you cut the board and one section is lighter cut than the other then the board is not flat or aligned properly. You can either manually align it better or comp in software. I chose to comp in software.
