Default Dovetail angles

Dovetails come in a number of angles and 55 deg. is one of them. To mill
a matching dovetail, if you have a bridgeport type mill I would just tilt
the head to the proper angle. Another way would to just use a round piece
of brass stock and clamp it into the dovetail or a half round piece.


Thank you!
I like low tech. My skill set should just about cope :-)
