I was watching a NYW video today and Norm was cutting the bench-dog
holes 4-degrees "inward" (toward the vise) so that his wooden dogs
weren't pushed enough toresultantly lose their grip on the work.

I am just curious since it caught me by surprise. Is it
standardprocedure to cut bench holes this way,or just with wooden dogs,
or neither?

P.S. Don't tell my wife I was thinking about getting a dog, or she'll be
all over it!; )
