Rabbeting

Rabbeting is known as cutting out a section of the corner

of a piece of material, across an end or along an edge.

To make a rabbet requires cuts which do not go all the

way through the material. Therefore, the blade guard

must be removed.

1. Remove blade guard.

2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of workpiece)

as shown add facing to rip fence approximately as high

as the workpiece is wide. Adjust rip fence and blade to

required dimensions; then make first cut with board flat

on table as any rip (type) cut; make second cut with

workpiece on edge. Follow all precautions, safety

instructions, and operational instructions as for ripping,

or rip type operations, including featherboards and

push stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2” and

narrower, make the rabbet cut with the board flat on

the table. Using the miter gauge fitted with a facing, fol-

low the same procedures and instructions for cross

cutting 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.

WARNING: For your own safety, install blade guard

immediately upon completion of rabbeting opera-

tion.

Some rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the

workpiece over the cutter using a dado head.

Ploughing and Molding

Ploughing is grooving with the grain the long way of the

workpiece, using the fence. Use featherboards and push

sticks as required.

Molding is shaping the workpiece with the grain the long

way of the workpiece, using the fence. Use featherboards

and push sticks as required.
