Rabbet Cutting

You may experience kickback during this procedure. Stand to the side of the blade and wear safety glasses or a face shield to prevent injury when cutting rabbets. Do not put hands behind blade!

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is an L-shaped groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets can be cut with either a dado blade or a standard saw blade. The optional zero clearance table insert, Model T20645 (see Page 44), must be installed during rabbeting operations.

2.Lower the blade completely, then install the optional zero clearance insert.

3.Make the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and 3⁄4" thick.

4.Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps as shown in Figure 48, making sure they are all secure and tight.
