I want to make some drawers using sliding dovetails. I notice that most bits come in a 8 degree and a 14 degree version. Which angle would be better for my use? Thanks for any and all help.

I didn't paya nickle and watched it twice. I must have been the 100th person to view it and won a prize!
Damn. I'm going to go buy a lotto ticket now before my winning streak runs out!

It worked for me. No Charge!
From the video, I believe the 7* is stronger while the 14* has more of a visual impact. For your application I don't think it would matter unless you plan on keeping your rock collection in the drawer. Cheers, JG

For soft wood use 1:6 For hard woods use 1:8
