rabbeting
Making L-shaped cuts
Rabbeting is cutting a step-shaped recess along the edge of a board, creating an L-shaped profile where pieces can interlock.
Woodworkers use rabbeting for joining cabinet backs, drawer bottoms, and picture frames: I spent the afternoon rabbeting the shelf boards.
The technique produces cleaner joints than simple butt connections.
