Rabbet Cut
WARNING
Rabbeting requires the removal of the cutterhead guard. Use extreme caution when making rabbeting cuts and replace the guard immediately after completion!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
1.Adjust the fence so that the distance between the end of the knives and fence is equal to the width of the rabbet (Fig. 25).
2.Lower the infeed table an amount equal to the depth of the rabbet. If the rabbet is quite deep, it may be necessary to cut in two or more passes.
In that event, the table is lowered an amount equal to about half the depth of the rabbet for the first pass, then lowered again to proper depth to complete the cut.
