Cutting accurate dovetails starts with accurate layout. If you don't have an accurate line to cut to, it's impossible to cut an accurate line. Our saddle squares make it easy—just straddle the corner and scribe your lines on either side. Use the same saddle square for both pins and tails, orienting the dovetail angle on the face grain side for the tails, and on the end grain side for the pins. A handy knurled grip makes handling a cinch, and precision-machined aluminum ensures accuracy and durability.
