OPERATIONS

Rabbet Cutting

Rabbet cuts remove a section of the workpiece edge (see

Figures 42 &

43). When combined with another rabbet

cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong

method of joining stock. Often, rabbet cuts must be made

in multiple passes to acheive the desired depth.

Figure 42. Typical rabbet cutting

operation.

Figure 43. Rabbet cutting illustration.

When the cutterhead guard is removed, attempting

any other cut besides a rabbet directly exposes the

operator to the moving cutterhead. Always replace

the cutterhead guard after rabbet cutting!

To rabbet cut on the jointer, do these steps:

1. Read and understand SAFETY, beginning on Page 5.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for danger-

ous conditions as described in Stock Inspection &

Requirements on Page 21.

3. Set the initial cutting depth between

⁄16" and

⁄8",

depending on the hardness of the type of wood you

are using.

4. Remove the cutterhead guard.

5. Make sure your fence is moved forward, so the

amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same

as the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your

fence is set to 90˚

6. Turn the jointer ON.

7. Feed the workpiece over the cutterhead in the same

manner as you would while surface planing, but use

the extension table for additional support.

8. Turn the jointer OFF, and lower the infeed table

between

⁄16" and

⁄8", depending on the hardness of

the type of wood you are using.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a

jointer, set the depth of cut to zero,

and practice feeding the workpiece

across the tables as described below.

This procedure will better prepare you

for the actual operation.

9. Repeat Steps 6–8 until the your rabbet is cut to the

desired depth.

DO NOT adjust the infeed table depth while the joint-

er is running.
