Crucible Dovetail 1:4 Dovetail Template

Product Description

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 similar looking angles).

The Crucible 1:4 Dovetail Template is milled from one piece of steel, which ensures a perfect 90° at the corner. (While this might seem wasteful, all the excess steel is recycled.) The tool measures 15/16”x 1 3/8”x 3” (24 x 35 x76mm). The angled section of the tool is long enough to mark out tails in 1 3/8″ (35mm) stock. The straight section of the tool is 1 5/16″ (33mm). There’s also a handy hang hole.

The Crucible Dovetail Template is made in Kentucky, USA.
