What is another word for rabbet joint?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈabɪt d͡ʒˈɔ͡ɪnt] (IPA) 
A rabbet joint is a type of woodworking joint that involves removing a strip of wood from one of the two pieces being joined, creating a groove or channel into which the other piece will fit snugly. Synonyms for the term include rebate joint, dado joint, trench joint, and housing joint. All of these terms refer to similar joint designs that involve cutting out a groove or channel in one piece of wood in order to allow another piece to fit flush against it. These joints are commonly used in furniture and cabinetry construction, as they provide a strong connection that can withstand the weight and pressure of heavy objects.
