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. The optional dado insert,
Model H9910, (see
Page 43) must be installed
during rabbeting operations.
Rabbet cutting on the edge of the workpiece
requires a sacrificial fence attachment as shown
in
Figure 50.

1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Install the optional dado insert.
3. Make the sacrificial fence the same length as
the fence and 3 ⁄

4. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps
as shown in Figure 50, making sure they are
all secure and tight.
