Crucible Dovetail 1:4 Dovetail Template
The Crucible 1:4 Dovetail Template marks out dovetail joints – both the tails and the pins – and allows you to easily and accurately lay out the angled and straight parts of the joint. This template marks out Christopher Schwarz's favorite dovetail slope: 1:4 (about 14°). The square end of the tool allows you to also use it as a saddle square (and to not get turned around by two...

This solid steel template is based on a discontinued version from Woodjoy Tools. We contacted...
Rob Cosman Shawn Shim Dovetail Offset Tool 3/4
This is the smaller of the two Shawn Shims that Rob offers.
One of the most difficult tasks in hand cutting dovetails is accurately transferring the tails and precisely sawing the pins. Rob's improved method of transferring tails to the pin board by offsetting the tailboard by the thickness of the saw kerf takes all the guess work out of where to saw.
Offsetting by the exact thickness can...
Veritas 14 Degree Dovetail Marker
For quick, accurate marking of dovetails, a dovetail marker is the best tool available.
With riding ledges on both sides, these 2" × 2" markers can be flipped over to mark both slopes of the dovetail. They are designed so that the entire ledge is riding on the reference face, even when marking edge dovetails. The relieved corners at the join of the body and the riding ledges ensure...
Veritas 14° Dovetail Saddle Marker (1:4)
This new 14° marker is designed to approximate a 1:4 ratio, for those who prefer this angle when working in thinner stock, as it not only provides stronger material interlock than traditional ratio angles but produces a slightly exaggerated dovetail joint that many find attractive.
The long legs ensure accurate registration. Also, much like the Veritas saddle square they are based on, they allow...

Veritas Dovetail Saddle Markers
These Veritas dovetail saddle markers are precision machined at 1:6 and 1:8 angles, the traditional angles for softwood and hardwood dovetails respectively. The long legs ensure accurate registration.
Also, much like the Veritas® Saddle Square™ they are based on, they allow a continuous line to be transferred around the corner, so the straight and angled lines can be scribed at the same...

One side is 1 in 6 (1:6 rake) for laying out softwood dovetails,...
Veritas Saddle Square
Veritas Small Saddle Square - Transferring a line from one surface to another with a small square is not easy. Our saddle square allows you to scribe two perpendicular surfaces at one time. But, more importantly, it allows you to pick up on a line already scribed & accurately transfer it to another perpendicular face. With 1 1/4" (32mm) & 2 1/4" (57mm) inside legs, it can wrap a...
Veritas Large Saddle Square

Simply mark the centres of your studs on top and bottom plate, then place the square so that the...
Veritas Mitre Saddle
When working on small items such as picture frames, a large combination square or try square can often be cumbersome. Not so with the new Veritas mitre saddle. The relatively small size makes it easy to use.
Despite its small size, it still has a large reference face (3-1/2" at the wide end) set at 45°. The leg measures 1" wide by 2-1/4" long. As with the saddle squares, the sides are machined...
