    dovetail way stock

    Does anyone know of a source for flat dovetail stock? Say 1/2 inch by 4 inch with 60 degree sides. I have a new milling machine build going on and would like to transition to dovetails. Square ways are fine but you learn wy industry uses dovetails--one adjustment versis 3.
    In the words of the Toolman--If you didn't make it yourself, it's not really yours!
    Remember- done beats perfect every time!!
