More information is needed. What magazine are you referring to?

The Woodsmith magazine dated December 1998, Vol 20/No 120. I want to purchase the dove tail bit and I would like to know the cutter height and angle.

lay a protractor on the page/drawing to find the angle of the bevel...... use the parts list to determine the drawer side thickness and deduct about 1/8"

You may even find the bit and it's information at the back of the issue. AH is/was pretty good at sourcing specialty items

You have enough information I expect

I looked at it, says it is a 1/2" dovetail bit. I don't think the angle is as critical. It looks like you use the same bit to mill both pieces. At least that is my $0.02.
