Cutting Rabbets - Shop fox W1674 Owner's Manual

Your shaper can perform rabbet cuts by using a straight
cutter and properly adjusting the spindle height and
the fences to produce the desired L-shape cut in the
workpiece (see Figure 50).
To make a rabbet cut, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER!
2. Install a straight cutter and raise it above the table
a distance equal to the height of the rabbet cut (see
Figure 50).
Note:
3. Adjust the fence boards even with one another so
that the cutter is exposed to the workpiece by a
distance equal to the depth of the rabbet cut (see
Figure 50).
4. Turn the machine
past the cutter to verify the rabbet cut.
