The 14° Veritas dovetail marker is made to closely replicate a 1:4 ratio—an angle often favoured when cutting dovetails in thinner stock. Compared to more traditional ratios, this steeper angle increases mechanical interlock between the tails and pins, enhancing joint strength. It also creates a slightly more pronounced dovetail profile, giving the finished joint a bold, distinctive look that many woodworkers appreciate.
