Looking for a chart of standard industry dovetail dimensions (male and female).

Trying to match the dovetails on an existing machine (depth = 1-inch (female) and 15/16-inch (male), width across the tail tips is approximately 4-inch, dove tail angle is 60 degrees.

The dove tail uses a side take-up gib and bearing is on the plain below the male dovetail. Dovetail is measured using (2) pins as described in the machinerys handbook (see prior post).
