What is a Rabbet and how do you make it? With what tool?


A rabbet is a ledge at the edge of a board. You might call it a dado with only
one side.

Tools: router with straight bit; table saw with dado stack; table saw with
straight blade (two cuts); saw and chisel (rough, rough); rabbet plane. AKA as
a rebate in England.
