RABBETING (FIG. 39)
Rabbeting is cutting out a section of the corner
of a piece of material, across an end or along
an edge.
Making a rabbet requires cuts that do not go
all the way through the material. Therefore, the
smart guard system must be removed.
a. Remove the smart guard system.
b. Attach the riving knife.
c. For rabbeting along an edge (long way
of workpiece) as shown, add a facing
approximately as high as the workpiece is
wide to the rip fence. Adjust the rip fence
and blade to the required dimensions, then
make the first cut with the board flat on the
table. Make a second cut with the workpiece
on its edge. Follow all precautions, safety
instructions, and operation instructions as
for ripping or rip type operations, including
featherboards and push stick, etc.
d. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece
10-1/2" and narrower make the rabbet
cut with the board flat on the table. Using

make non-through grooves or lap cuts in
workpieces.
These tools are commonly used in furniture and
cabinet building. After work pieces have been
properly dado cut, they can be tightly joined
together. This table saw can accommodate
dado cutting up to 13/16" wide in a single pass.

the miter gauge fitted with a facing, follow
the same procedures and instructions for
crosscutting making successive cuts across
the width of the workpiece to obtain the
desired width of cut. Do not use the rip fence
for rabbeting across the end.
e. Install the smart guard system immediately
upon completion of rabbeting operation.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of
the workpiece over the cutter using the dado
head.
Always use an appropriate table insert and
washers listed in chapter "Recommended
Accessories."
Always place the blade washers in the original
positions when you are finished dado cutting.
Never make dado cuts without dado table
insert. Do not use dado sets larger than 8" in
diameter. Never set dado cutters to any bevel
angle other than the vertical 0° angle. Follow
all warnings and instructions shown here and
those that accompany your dado set. Failure
to comply with these warnings may result in
serious bodily injuries.
