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 37 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. 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.
