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.

8kkXZ_`e^XJXZi`]`Z`Xc=\eZ\

Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece requires a sacrificial fence attachment (Figure /)). Make the sacri- ficial fence the same length as the fence and 34" thick. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps, making sure they are all secure and tight.

When installing the dado blade, remove the special arbor washer (part #349 in parts breakdown) to allow room for the blade. A blade flange MUST always be between the blade and the arbor nut. Refer to the machine data sheet for the maximum width of dado that this saw can cut.

The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when cutting with a dado blade. To reduce the risk of kickback and personal injury, do not make the full cut in one pass. Instead make multiple light cuts until the cut reaches the desired depth.

1.Lower the blade, position the sacrificial fence over the blade as far as necessary for your rabbet size (see =`^li\ /*), then start the saw and raise the blade into the sacrificial fence to the height needed for the rabbet cut.
