Rabbeting; Dadoing; Molding Cutting - Craftsman 113.290650 Owner's Manual

RABBETING
RABBETING
is known as cutting out a section of the
corner of a piece of material, across an end or along
an edge.
To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go
all the way through the material. Therefore the blade
guard must be removed.
1. Remove blade guard.
For rabbeting along an edge (long way of
workpiece) as shown, add facing to rip fence (see
6, RIP FENCE, p. 25) approximately as high as the
workpiece is wide. Adjust rip fence and blade to
required dimensions; then make first cut with
board flat on table as any rip (type) cut; make
second cut with workpiece on edge. Follow all
precautions, safety instructions, and operational
instructions as for ripping, or rip type operations,
including feather boards and push stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-
1/2" and narrower make the rabbet cut with the
board flat on the table using the miter gauge fitted
with a facing (per "7, MITER GAUGE p. 25) DO
NOT use the rip fence.
4. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY
UPON COMPLETION OF RABBETING
OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made using the dado head
or molding head.
