What does RABBET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A step-shaped groove cut along the edge of a board or panel so that another piece can sit snugly in it.
Carpenters cut a rabbet to hide a joint or to seat a back panel, a pane of glass or a drawer bottom. Because the notch is open on two sides, it is easy to cut with a plane or a router. The same word works as a verb for the act of cutting such a notch, and rabbet is the usual American spelling beside the British rebate.
