The Compass Rose Dovetail Square is live! www.compassrosetools.com/store/p/dovetail-square

Combining a try-square and dovetail gauge into one utility tool to make dovetailing easier. Layout dovetails, carry lines across the faces and edges of boards, and make sure your work is square. It is marked on both sides with angles at 1:5 for softwoods and 1:8 for hardwoods. On sale for a limited time.

@DrFunke

I like it so much, but I just can’t spend $70 on a square. It does look very nice though.

Would be nice if we could get a 3D printable version, 80$ is a little ridiculous.

$80 after shipping is a bit much for most, but perhaps if this tool would serve you regular use it would be well worth it

It's neat, but I really like my Veritas saddle dovetail jigs. They're so fast and easy, and relatively cheap. And with the saddle it carries the diagonal line on the side right up and across the endgrain with a single stroke, guaranteed perfectly lined up.

I REALLY like the idea of having extra support at the far end of the blade to make marking at the ends of boards easier. Stroke of genius that was. More tool makers should have that.

I have refused to buy any of these for yrs now but I like to get behind a good idea when I see it plus help a small business!

1:6 is the best dovetail visually.

I know someone is trying to make money on this. And I think it's a neat product. But, I can literally count the number of cuts required to make this on a mill. And, $70 doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy. Usually when I see tools with this kind of price point, they have a great name brand behind them...........
