9. Re-adjust the fence so the blade is aligned
with the other edge of the intended dado
channel (

Note: Be sure to keep the cuts within your
marks; otherwise, the dado will be too big.

the dado until the dado is complete.

6. If dadoing the length of a workpiece, align the
blade to cut one of the dado sides as shown
in Figure 48.
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.
To cut rabbets with the dado blade:
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" thick.
4. Attach it to the fence with screws or clamps
as shown in
Figure 50, making sure they are
all secure and tight.

Rabbet Cutting
You may experience kickback during this
procedure. Stand to the side of the blade
and wear safety glasses or a face shield to
prevent injury when cutting rabbets.
