A rabbet joint is a woodworking joint created by cutting a recess or groove along the edge of a piece of wood. This allows another piece to fit snugly into the groove, providing a strong connection. Rabbet joints are commonly used in the construction of cabinets, doors, and frames, where they help to create a clean and finished appearance. The rabbet joint is often used in conjunction with other joints, such as the dado joint or butt joint, to enhance structural integrity. It can be made using various tools, including a table saw or a router, making it a versatile choice for woodworkers.
