Cutting Rabbets with a Standard
Blade
A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use
for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade
because it removes sawdust very efficiently. (See
Page 28 for blade details.) Also, a sacrificial fence
is not required when cutting rabbets with a stan-
dard blade.
To cut rabbets with a standard blade:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that riving knife and standard table
insert are installed.
3. Mark width of rabbet cut on edge of workpiece,
so you can clearly identify intended cut while
it is laying flat on saw table.
4.
Raise blade up to desired depth of cut (depth
of rabbet channel desired).
5.
Stand workpiece on edge, as shown in
Figure 71, then adjust fence so blade is
aligned with inside of your rabbet channel.

— If workpiece is very tall, or is unstable when
placed against fence, lay it flat on table and
use a dado blade to perform rabbet cut.

DO NOT place a tall board on edge to per-
form a rabbet cut with a standard blade.
Workpieces that are too tall to properly sup-
port with fence can easily shift during oper-
ation and cause kickback. Instead, place
stock flat on saw and perform rabbet cut
with a dado blade, as instructed on Page 39.

Lay workpiece flat on table, as shown in

complete rabbet.
