I think my biggest point of confusion right now is around straight bits. There's heaps of different sizes. If I'm mainly just wanting to trim edges and jointing, as opposed to making small grooves to plunge cuts, should I be going for a long and wide straight bit for that kind of work? What trade-offs are there to consider?
