For Yous Novel Dovetail Guides, Which Angles?.

Despite numerous requests I've e'er stuck to making my guides at merely about 1:6 (10 degrees). I'm investigating diverse angles amongst a sentiment to producing a hit of guides.
The traditional 1:8 angle is the i I larn asked for around at shows, as well as thence I'll definitely be making that one. My initial thoughts were to make a 1:4 every bit good although when I saw the divergence iv degrees makes I made a 1:5 sample too. As you lot tin hand notice come across at that spot is a clear divergence betwixt them. Most of my guides convey been going to the U.S. of A. inwards the end twelvemonth as well as I know the steeper angles are to a greater extent than pop than hither inwards the UK.
I don't mean value I'll usage a 1:7 fifty-fifty though that was Alan Peters favourite angle.
I would live on interested to withdraw heed from people every bit to their favourite angle.

In making these mock ups I had to locomote gratis mitt without the aid of magnets, I haven't done that for a while! Now I know they're non perfect but they did become together withdraw from the saw as well as each was done inwards v minutes. I'm glad I tin hand notice however saw straight!
