Rabbet Joints

How are the cabinet backs secured?

Cabinet Back Sealing

We route a "rabbet" (L-shaped notch) into the back of the gables. The 1/2" or 3/4" back panel sits inside this notch, which squares the cabinet perfectly and prevents "racking" or leaning over time.

An L-shaped groove cut into the cabinet side to allow the back panel to sit flush and square the box.
