    Anatomy of the rabbet joint The proportion of the rabbet to the thickness of the material is about 1/3. For example, on a piece of 3/4-in. -thick material, the depth of the rabbet should be at least 1/4 in. and should never exceed 1/2 in.

    Furthermore, what is a rabbet joint? A rabbet or rebate is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of machinable material, usually wood. When viewed in cross-section, a rabbet is two-sided and open to the edge or end of the surface into which it is cut. A rabbet can be used to form a joint with another piece of wood (often containing a dado).

    Full-width dado or groove Strong, reliable, and easy to make, a full-width dado (across the grain) or groove (along the grain) perfectly captures the mating workpiece with glue surface all around.

    What does a rabbet joint look like?

    A rabbet is simply an open-sided channel or recess along the edge or across the end of a board or panel. The depth of the rabbet for this joint should be one-half to two-thirds its width. When assembled, the rabbet conceals the end grain of the mating board.
