If using EWT type tools, the cutters are flat and are designed to cut best with the cutter at center when the tool handle is parallel to the floor.

Because the Hunter type cutters are concave, they are more aggressive and are best used with the cutter at about a 45 degree angle and at or slightly below center. Rotating the cutter towards 90 degrees will give you a more aggressive cut but can also lead to trouble.

Most of all - stay safe - Dave

If you are too high, the cutter will not cut effectively. If the cutter is too low, the inside curve of the form will draw the cutter in, resulting in what could be called a catch.
