OPERATIONS

Rabbet Cutting

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 Figure 51.

To cut rabbets with the dado blade, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

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

3.Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps as shown in Figure 51, making sure they are all secure and tight.

4.Adjust the fence, turn the saw ON, raise the blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed for the rabbeting operation, and turn the saw OFF.

5.Align the workpiece to perform the cutting operation as shown in Figure 52.

The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

6.Reconnect the saw to the power source and turn the saw ON.

7.When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.

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

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.

Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require that the blade guard and splitter must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete.
