Rabbet Cutting
Rabbet cutting recesses a section of a workpiece
edge to create a strong but simple joint.
Figure
41
illustrates a basic rabbet cut and two com-
mon joints.
Figure 42
shows an operator performing a rab-
bet cut. Notice that the fence is positioned close
to the edge of the table. The operator’s body is
not directly in line with the stock and he main-
tains a stable hand position while keeping the
board firmly on the table and against the fence.
To perform a rabbet cutting operation:
1.
Follow
Section 1: Safety
and the “Operation
Musts” in this section.
2.
Determine the width of your desired rabbet
and set the fence that distance away from
the edge of the knives.
3.
Place the workpiece down on the infeed
table and press it firmly against the fence.
4.
Start the jointer.
5.
Keep the workpiece firmly against the table
and fence, and feed the workpiece into the
cutterhead.
6.
As your leading hand gets within 4" of the
cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-
head and place it on the workpiece as it
passes over the outfeed table. Do the same
thing when your trailing hand nears the cut-
terhead. Never let your hands get closer
than 4" away from the cutterhead!
7.
Repeat
steps 4-5
until you have achieved
your desired rabbeting depth. The maxi-
mum rabbet depth for the Model W1679 is
1
⁄
2
".
