The inside dovetail (for tenons) on the standard jaws is 10 degrees. The outside dovetail (for recess/mortise) is 14 degrees. Does someone know why they are different?
I am preparing a short safety discussion on properly sized tenons (and mortises) for a club meeting and this question comes to mind. I sent Vicmarc an email but they are closed for though January for an extended holiday period.
EDIT: the larger dovetail jaws they sell have 13 degree angles on both sides.
