Most that I've seen on dovetail cutters are 60 degree. Don't recall seeing any different. Measure width of open cut, then measure dovetail cutter as it sits in cut. That's why they make 60 degree files with a safe side, so the last few thousandth can be hand fit and slide in with a brass punch. They also make tools for pressing it in, similar to those made for the Glock, or one can easily fabricate one for general use.
