Still no disagreement, is there? Except maybe 3/8 vs 1/2".
Kevin if I understand him correctly says a larger bit is more efficient and holds up better in mass production, which Fender is obviously about. And that changing a bit in the middle of the job takes time. So Fender is using a big one - 3/4" - for the whole process, and therefore get the wide corners. You on the other hand are using a smaller one - 1/2" - for the neck pocket and get perfect corners.
Sorry to interfere, but this was "my" thread...
