Rabbeting
Rabbeting is a grove along the edge of stock. The stock can be on edge or face, depending on the
dimensions required for the rabbet.
Position fence for width of rabbet cut. This is the distance from the outmost edge of the outermost knife
insert to the fence.
Set depth of cut with the Infeed Table Adjustment Handle. Do not set deeper than 1/64” per pass. Several
passes may be required to reach the desired depth. Adjust the infeed table for each pass (1/64” max.) until
the rabbet is completed.
