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.

Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece requires a sacrificial fence attachment as shown in =`^li\-). Make the sacrificial fence the same length as the fence and

3⁄4" thick. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps, making sure they are all secure and tight. Raise the blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed.

(% DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

)% Adjust the dado blade to the height needed for the rabbeting operation. When cutting deep rabbets, take more than one pass to reduce the risk of kickback.

*% Adjust the fence and align the workpiece to perform the cutting operation, as shown in =`^li\-*.

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger force to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut. To minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that the stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve the desired cutting depth.

+% Reconnect the saw to the power source and turn the saw FE. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.



—If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the final workpiece.
