Rabbeting; Ploughing And Molding - Craftsman Contractor 113.299112 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.
2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work-
piece) as shown, add facing to rip fence approxi-
mately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust rip
fence and blade to required dimensions; then make
first cut with board 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 oper-
ational instructions as for ripping, or rip type opera-
tions, including featherboards 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, follow the same procedures and
instructions for cross cutting making successive cuts
across the width of cut. DO NOT use the rip fence
for rabbeting across the end.
I WARNING: For your own safety, install blade I
I
guard immediately upon completion of rabbeting
I
operation.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the work-
piece over the cutter using the dado head or molding
head.
