Dado (joinery)
A dado (US and Canada, (rebate).
Variations
- A through[1] dado involves cuts which run between both edges of the surface, leaving both ends open.
- A stopped or blind[2] dado ends before one (stopped) or both (blind) of the cuts meets the edge of the surface.[1]
- A half dado is formed with a narrow dado cut into one part, coupled with a rabbet of another piece. This joint tends to be used because of its ability to hide unattractive gaps due to varying material thicknesses.[3]
