Can you use any cut of meat to make jerky?

Technically yes, but you should use the leanest cuts possible since the fat will go rancid. I personally like to use an eye round roast.

I have a deli slicer and using the eye round makes it really easy. I trim the fat and silverskin off the roast and slice it into about 1.5" thick "steaks". Toss those in the freezer for a couple hours until they are fairly hard but not frozen solid. I then put them through the slicer on their sides at about 1/4".

Yeah. I don't have a slicer.
My wife really likes the burger jerkey that I make (ground sirloin, usually) with a "Jerkey Press".
I would prefer to make it with sliced meat myself.

Have the butcher pre-slice the cut to the desired thickness.

I like to use eye round and skirt/flank.
Same method, freeze it for an hour or two, and then slice it with a sharp knife.
Cure it (or not), marinate it, then dry it for 12 to 18 hours.

Try some thinly sliced turkey too. Nice change of pace from the traditional beef/venison jerkey we usually do.

Isn't there something called a bias or something? I remember on tv AB talking about making jerky and he cut it in a special way to make it easy to tear off and chew.

Cutting anything on a bias is just cutting it on an angle. It is pretty much like a bevel.
