Marking your dovetail pins and tails can be a laborious task if you do not have a well designed marker. My Dovetail Marker is designed for marking both through and half-blind dovetails. My Dovetail Marker enables you to quickly, accurately, and repeatably layout your tails.

Made from a solid piece of wood, it fits and feels great in your hand.
Allows you to lay out the angle cut and its associated straight cut without re-positioning the marker.
Has 1:6 and 1:7 angled vertical faces and a 90 degree horizontal face.
1:6 is the traditional angle for softwoods and 1:7 is the traditional angle for hardwoods.
Shipping box doubles as a handy storage container to keep it from getting beat up in your tool box.

Light and handy

It's the right size and shape for the job. Being compact makes all the difference. Fits in your hand. Put on the end of the tail board, and it registers. Slide it over to your pencil point, and you know the lines will be right. Easier and less room for error than using a longer and heavier sliding bevel gauge. Rob, would you consider making one with a wider top that can be used to mark across two tail boards at once?

Quick and simple.

Works as it should. Quickly and simply.

Quick and accurate layout

I have been fiddling around with sliding bevels and magnetic guides. I love the simplicity of this little aid to dovetailing. Just started using this tool but already can see how it will save time and make things accurate. Thank you!
