Rabbeting

A rabbet is simply a rectangular recess along the edge or end of a piece of material. It is a common joint in cabinet casework, but is also used in recessing cabinet doors in face frames, as a recess for holding artwork or a mirror in a frame, in a molding application, or for half-lap or shiplap joints. By adjusting the height of the bit and the size of the bearing, you should be able to get just the right size that you need.
