Dex and Trade Skills Question??

IS there a Guide somewhere that details DEX related to Trade Skills?? IE like Blacksmithing, Tailoring...etc...
So real question is... Is Higher DEX mean Higher Success Rate of Crafting Items???
for instance, a Smith at 50 dex has a lower or even chance at crafting GM made items then a Smithy at say 100 DEX???
Is there a table or data anywhere that details this info??

only in the sense that dex may affect "modified" trade skill, which becomes null as you GM your skill.

Felix is correct. Dex will modify your "shown" skill which is the skill checked to be able to produce something. For example tailoring, you will cap tailoring at a higher "real" skill when making leather gorgets with a low dex, given that your "shown" is not benefited from higher Dex.

Same applies for lockpicking. Not sure about blacksmithy and mining.

As a GM crafter, the only current benefit of Dex to me is how many steps I can take while overloaded. Not that that doesn't come in handy quite often.
