Cutting Rabbets with a Standard Blade

A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade because it removes sawdust very efficiently. (See Page 34 for blade details.) Also, a sacrificial fence is not required when cutting rabbets with a stan- dard blade.

To cut rabbets with the standard blade:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

2.Ensure that the riving knife and standard table insert are installed.

3.Mark the width of the rabbet cut on the edge of the workpiece, so you can clearly identify the intended cut while it is laying flat on the saw table.

4.Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut (depth of rabbet channel desired).

5.Stand the workpiece on edge, as shown in Figure 66, then adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your rabbet chan- nel.

—If the workpiece is very tall, or is unstable when placed against the fence, lay it flat on the table and use a dado blade to perform the rabbet cut.

DO NOT place a tall board on edge to per- form a rabbet cut with a standard blade. Workpieces that are too tall to properly support with the fence can easily shift dur- ing operation and cause kickback. Instead, place the stock flat on the saw and perform the rabbet cut with a dado blade, as instruct- ed on Page 45.

6.Reconnect the saw to the power source, then perform the cut.

7.Lay the workpiece flat on the table, as shown in Figure 67, adjust the saw blade height to intersect with the first cut, then perform the second cut to complete the rabbet.
