Thank you for showing me an easy method of cutting a rabbet to whatever depth needed using only a straight bit and a hand router . Classic.
Your rabbeting technique using a straight bit is what I need. Thanks a lot.

My google search was exactly your title, and this was the second hit on the page. I had my suspicion on how to do this with a router, and your video was exactly what I thought. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Spent weeks looking for videos on how to cut a rabbet bit but slightly deeper than this and as a novice who's never used any woodworking tools all the other videos making templates and jigs, etc, didn't even know what a jig was and I just need 8 bits for a new window case with a routed channel on the back to fit good, and you solved it without making any complicated tools or expensive tables which I don't have. Thank you so much!
This video is EXACTLY what I needed and was looking for! Thank you so much for the explanations on the different ways of using a router for a rabbet, I have been stressing all day until I watched this!
Good video! Now its 2022, we need it re-uploaded in 1080p ☺
Thank you for taking time to show us this. I live in Texas and we love the 2 step down here!! Just kidding I really enjoyed this video.
I totally don't get how you did that climb cut. You went the opposite direction on the wood, but how did you get it to be a shallow cut? Sorry, I'm new to the router and still confused.
Excellent demonstration.
I'm used to larger, corded routers ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
from UK. Many thanks..damn I have just received my rabbeting bit and now i see this technique using a sraight bit!
Thank You for this video; I'm making storm windows for the first time and needed this tutorial
Very interesting thank you. Love the double rabbet, just making a mirror so very helpful? Is the top board not clamped though?
Good tips, thanks
This is very instructive, thanks.
Could you please give more specifics on the '3/4" straight bit with top-mounted bearing' which you describe at @5:35? Although it is a straight bit, in the sense that its sides appear to be vertical, I think I can see fairly clearly that the cutting edges appear to be curved. I am a router learner, so I am not all that confident about the terminology: is this a "spiral bit" of some kind? If so, what kind? The more you can characterise it the better: the taxonomy of router bits is quite daunting for a newbie.
Maybe you could even specify the make and model of this bit so I can go away and research it and find out what category it is said to be in? For example, whether it is a carbide cutting edge bit (my understanding so far is that all spiral bits have carbide cutting edges...). Thanks.
I need more routers. Especially since I don't have one yet haha.
You really do. I'm pretty green but it really changes the game, especially for such a small tool.
Hey Popular Woodworking - thanks for the great tutorial on the use of the rabbet bit
Question, when you are back routeing, you are doing this free hand, correct? this is all by feel, you did not change the bearing so there is nothing there by your feel to keep it close?
I pickup from the garvage a bathroom Mirror , dismanteled and discover the glass frame had two rabeting -- You Story spins is precisily what I have been looking for such long time, It is how to cut a double rabbeting for a glass and the back board , it is a technike , actually I was looking fo a rabbetin Bit. , Thank you so muc -Negron- Monday April 5/ 2021 bronx, NY.
gotta get a more close-up lens for the camera. we can't see the details of the cuts.
I thought a climb cut was with the rotation of the router bit and a push cut would be against the router bit rotation?
I wish your camera was a little closer. I can't see what at the time or final look. I'm a beginner to work working. Thanks I appreciate your video.
wish you could do a much closer look as well as cover how to set depth for us new guys. Also explain more on bearing use.
Thank you for an excellent demonstration on how to do a rabbet cut. Just curious about that two step rabbet, was that a Texas JackRabbit Two Step or a Kentucky Cotton Tail DosieDo....
🤣
how hard is it to do Rabbeting on Acrylic Plexiglass? Please message me if you can send info
Can I do this in the middle of a board that is a sign to put a picture in it
That's a smart question, and yes you can. If I'm understanding right and the board has a flat top and you're wanting to put the picture straight upright in the board. You can make this groove either all the way across, or stop short of the edges for an exact fit of the width of the picture.
Look up "dado cuts with a router". WoodWorkWeb has some beginner friendly videos on it.
I recommend practicing on some scrap wood though, these pros make it all look easy but there's definitely a learning curve. Good luck with your project!
I started with Woodglut plans.

Does it have to be a plunge router? Is that a plunge router? I can't see too well. It appears to have a depth adjustment though I think that's what that black knob is?
Trying to learn some woodworking, thanks!
You can use either a plunge router or a fixed-base router to make a rabbet. Slightly different adjustment for depth if you're taking the cut in more than one pass, but essentially the same process. Happy to help!
Nice
Song to an incompetent woodworker: You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time, You ain't never cut a rabbet and you ain't no friend of mine.
at 2:19. Isn't he running the router in the wrong direction? I want to make sure I'm not doing it wrong.
He's running it the wrong way but real lightly and/or with a different router bit. This is before doing the real pass(es) at the desired depth/width. This is to kindof smooth out the edge of the wood, so that the router bit edge doesn't grab the wood grain ends and tear it out, making unsightly little holes.
Hmm rabbet
my neighbour who owns a rabbit is freaking out when she listens to me watching your video in order to learn how to cut a rabbet.
well done!
Lol 😂
At 2:11 not a very safe move...
Good catch, could have been catastrophic. I always turn on my router when is set down on the wood.
... you definitely don't want to blow out your backside.
😂😂😂
lmfao
Lol knew I wasn't the only one laughed at that
i like 5.33
Hmm...... rabbet
Wait this isn't beastars!
That noise is a real torture!
Like number 666 here. Felt I should share 😈
it's a wascally wabbet
hmm rabbet
use ear protection!
i was thinking the same thing
I'm sure you can do it too. Just look for Stodoys plans.
Woodglut has very good designs and plans.

"Rabbet". "Reproduction." Giggity.
You need a mask for this, NOT for Covid.
How dare you
Haha😂
you’re too far away and we can’t see anything.
