You use a pin for cross's grain and a knife that is angled in for parallel grain.

I have seen nothing but your opinion stating the parallel/cross grain relationship to the knife/pin. Quite the contrary. From what I have seen it is either a personal preference or a regional tradition.
Where did your info come from?
G.S.
It was a troll, sort of.
It is actually backwards.
I really don't like the pizza cutters but who cares.

Don't do that!
I certainly thought it was backwards, but as a weekend wood-butcher, I question my own understanding when presented by a contrary view from an obvious pro. Thanks for clearing that up.
