Rabbet Cutting
The purpose of rabbet cutting (see
Figures
46–48) is to remove a section of the workpiece
edge, as shown below. When combined with
another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create
a simple, yet strong method of joining stock.

To rabbet cut on jointer:
1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable
for the operation
(see Stock Inspection &
Requirements section).
2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting
depth for each pass.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, cutting
depth should never exceed
1
⁄
8
" per pass.
3. Remove cutterhead guard.
4. Set fence to 90˚ and near front of jointer,
so amount of exposed cutterhead in front of
fence matches size of desired rabbet.
5. Start jointer.
6. Place workpiece firmly against fence and
infeed table.
IMPORTANT: To ensure workpiece remains
stable during cut, concave sides of workpiece
must face toward table and fence.
7. Feed workpiece completely across cutter-
head while keeping it firmly against fence
and tables during entire cut.
IMPORTANT: Keep hands at least 4" away
from cutterhead during the entire cut. Instead
of allowing a hand to pass directly over cut-
terhead, lift it up and over cutterhead, and
safely reposition it on the outfeed side to con-
tinue supporting workpiece. Use push blocks
whenever practical to further reduce risk of
accidental hand contact with cutterhead.
8. Repeat Step 7 until rabbet is cut to depth.
When cutterhead guard is removed,
attempting any other cut besides a rab-
bet directly exposes operator to moving
cutterhead. ALWAYS replace cutterhead
guard after rabbet cutting!
