Does a dovetail marker need to be this accurate?
No.
Does using a beautiful precision engineered brass Richard Kell dovetail marker help you to get into the right frame of mind for cutting accurate dovetails?
Absolutely.
1:5 for softwoods, 1:8 for hardwoods, with a 90 degree slot for squaring around the edge.

Perfect size, we'll made dovetail marker.
Exceptionally we'll made, perfect size and weight to help accurately mark out dovetails much easier than using a bulky dovetail square. The slot is also a great feature too, so you don't have to keep swapping for a square or straight edge. Glad I have one now!

exemplar product
I purchased this as an exemplar of a commercially produced product similar to one of the tasks I set my class. This means that I have cast a critical eye over it and it is as near perfect as anyone could expect.

Perfect for the job
Such a simple design but perfect for the job.

Great dovetail marker
Very nice dovetail marker, the only thing that lets it down is you can't mark both edge and face at the same time, the more times you have to move something, the less accurate it can be.

Very Accurate Dovetail Marker
A beautiful precision engineered brass dovetail marker is this one. Only problem I have with it, is you can't mark the edge and face at the same time
