Does that one-third rule used for tenons apply to sliding dovetails also. You know, the tenon on a rail should be about 1/3 the size of the style.
I want to use 2x6 Doug Fir timers for the rails on my shop workbenches and dovetail them into 4x4 legs. Is a 1-inch DT bit (14 degrees) ok? There would be 3 horizontals cut into the center legs, and two on each of the side legs.
