Talking Help needed - dovetail jig

This is my new jig that I scored for nothing. It is all complete except for the instructions. I have a general idea on how it goes and there was a good article recently in Woodsmith.

The questions I have are;
1/ Guide bushing or bit with a bearing? If a guide bushing does the bushing have to be the exact size of the gaps between the fingers or not?
2/ What is the maths to work out how far back to position the fence? I understand it is all relative with the router base but there must some form of formulation easy to hand.
3/ What size/angle dovetail bit?
4/ What depth of cut do I set my router at?

Anyway, thanks for any and all input.

Aaron
