Rabbet Cutting

The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a sec- tion of the workpiece edge. When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of joining stock. See

and a few sample joints.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

To rabbet cut on the jointer:

1.Make sure you have read and understand all safety instructions in Section 1: Safety and that your stock has been inspected for safe operation as described in the “Stock Inspection” instructions earlier in this section.

2.Make sure your workpiece is within the mini- mum and maximum stock dimensions that your Grizzly 8" Jointer can safely process. (Check the data sheet in the back of this manual for your particular model.)

3.If your workpiece is cupped (warped), it should be straightened out before you attempt to make a rabbet cut.

4.Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for rabbet cut- ting, using a more shallow depth for harder wood species or for wider stock.)

5.Make sure your fence is moved forward, so the amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same as the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your fence is set to 90˚

6.Start the jointer.

7.With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure.

8.Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 51. Note—When your lead- ing hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. At this point, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get clos- er than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

9.Repeat steps 7-8until the your rabbet is cut to depth.
