TAPERED
SLIDING
DOVETAIL
The
tapered
sliding
dovetail
is
a method
of
joining shelf
boards
to
sides
such as
in
bookcases,
stereo cabinets
and
other types
of
furniture.
The
advantage
of
the taper
is
that
the "male"
dovetail slides
freely
in
the "female"
dovetail
and
tightens
up
when
seated.
The
tightness
of
the
joint
can be
controKed
by
the
depth
of
the
cut.
