Rabbet

I apologize for telling you something you may all ready know. If you think a rabbet is a small fluffy furry animal with long ears and a cotton ball tail, please read on.

If you know that a rabbit is a ledge cut into wood to accept something like glass, mirrors or a tile strip, please exit the page...

A rabbet is woodworking terminology for a ledge in the shape of an L cut into a piece of wood. It is normally cut with a router bit, but a hand plane may also be used.
