=====Description=====

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/template '''Templates'''] are usually cut-out shapes, often self-made, which are drawn around to transfer a design, either to simplify marking out or to ensure repeated accuracy. But adjustable '''Templates''' are also available which can be set to copy an existing curve for example and '''Templates''' or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jig_(tool) '''Jigs'''] are used also to guide a'''[[Router]]''' for example. [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stencil#English '''Stencils'''] are similar but tend to be associated with common or standard shapes and symbols such as circles, lettering or furniture for architectural layouts.

=====Types and Applications=====

| The slope of the Dovetail angle is commonly set to be 1 in 6 or less for softwoods, and 1 in 8 for hardwoods - 1 in 7 can be regarded as a good general purpose compromise. If too steep an angle, the 'Tails' can be weakened as a result of '''[[Short Grain]]''' at their widest end but may sometimes be considered for decorative purposes or when the '''Dovetail''' is used to join a sheet metal '''[[Seaming|Seam]]'''.
