cutting a dovetail

when cutting a dovetail for a ft.sight do you use a smaller dovetail cutterand sneak up on it or are the cutters made for the sights being cut for?
Hog out the middle with a straight cutter, then if you have the full size cutter plow it through (one side will be "climbing", the other conventional)
Or if your cutter is narrower than the overall, you'd do each side, preferably climb mlling for a good finish
