No disrespect to anyone on this site, but from answers seen I doubt more than a couple members could set their mill to cut the dovetail closer than 5 degrees,
Or even cut 60 degree dovetails with a 60 degree cutter. :-/... Would take some pretty good eyes with slide and sight held up to bright light to discern any objectionable misfit with 65 vs 60 degree cutter.A slight tapping on the edge of the dovetail cut after the sight is fitted would or could remove this gap. Not exactly a tool maker fit, but close enough for gov't work.
