rabbet shape


Explanation:
A rabbet is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of machinable material, usually wood.

  • Mark the rabbet shape on the workpiece before you cut it to serve as an index for setting the blade height and fence position.

agree  philgoddard: I think it may be rebate in the UK and rabbet in the US. http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/feuillure And I agree with BD that "shape" is not necessary.
