In cabinet making, a rebate is a shallow groove that is cut into the edge of a piece of wood. Rebates are used for a variety of purposes, including joining two pieces of wood together, attaching hardware, and creating a decorative detail.
Rebates can be cut using a variety of tools, including a chisel, a router, or a tablesaw. The depth and width of the rebate will depend on the specific purpose it is being used for and the thickness of the wood.
