Rabbet Cutting
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is a straight groove cut in the edge of the workpiece. Rabbets are best cut using a standard saw blade.
Rabbet operations present very real haz- ards requiring proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Any movement of the stock away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.
Cutting rabbets with the standard blade:
Cutting rabbets with a standard saw blade DOES NOT require the use of a sacrificial fence.
1.Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on your workpiece. Include marks on the edge of your workpiece so you can clearly identify your intended cut while the material is laying flat on the saw table.
2.Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut (depth of rabbet channel desired).
3.If the rabbet runs the length of the material, adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your rabbet channel as shown in Figure 34.
