Steeper slope angle is required to ensure fibers do not slip or crush easily in compressible softwood.

Why Dovetail Slope Matters

A dovetail slope represents the interlocking wedge of the joint. If the angle is too shallow (e.g., less than 1:10), the mechanical locking benefit is lost, and the joint can slip apart. If the angle is too steep (e.g., more than 1:5), the delicate grain at the corners of the tails can shear and break off under stress.
