7. Re-adjust the fence so the blade is aligned
with the other edge of the intended dado
channel. Be sure to keep the cuts within your
marks; otherwise, the dado will be too big.
8. Continue making cuts toward the center of
the dado with your subsequent cuts until the
dado is complete.
Rabbet Cutting
Always replace the blade guard after dado-
ing is complete. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could result in serious personal injury.
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a rabbet is a
straight groove cut in the edge of the workpiece.
Rabbets are best cut using a standard saw blade.
Rabbet operations present very real haz-
ards requiring proper procedures to avoid
serious injury. Any movement of the stock
away from the fence will cause kickback. Be
certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure
to follow these warnings could result in
serious personal injury.
Cutting rabbets with the standard blade:
Cutting rabbets with a standard saw blade DOES
NOT require the use of a sacrificial fence.
1. Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on
your workpiece. Include marks on the edge
of your workpiece so you can clearly identify
your intended cut while the material is laying
flat on the saw table.
2. Raise the blade up to the desired depth of
cut (depth of rabbet channel desired).
3. If the rabbet runs the length of the material,
adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with
the inside of your rabbet channel as shown
in Figure 34.
