Rabbeting is a machining process used to create a recessed groove, known as a rabbet, in furniture components. This operation plays an important role in both the functionality and appearance of finished furniture, allowing back panels, glass, mirrors, and other inserts to fit precisely within the structure.
At Pinoles, we provide accurate and professional rabbeting services that ensure clean finishes and reliable results for every project.
Rabbeting involves machining a recessed groove, known as a rabbet, into the edge or surface of a panel. The process is performed on advanced CNC machinery using precision cutting and milling tools, ensuring consistent dimensions and a high level of accuracy.
One of the most common applications of rabbeting is the installation of HDF back panels in furniture. While these panels provide essential stability and structural strength, their exposed edges can affect the overall appearance of the finished product. By machining a rabbet, the back panel can be neatly recessed into the furniture body, creating a cleaner and more professional finish.
Depending on the project requirements, rabbets can be produced in various dimensions. Our standard rabbet measures 3 × 10 mm and can be machined either partially or along the entire length of the component.
At Pinoles, rabbeting is carried out by experienced professionals using modern CNC equipment to ensure precision and repeatability. Whether you are manufacturing custom furniture, cabinetry, frames or decorative elements, our team can help you select the most suitable solution for your project.
We regularly perform rabbeting for glass and mirror inserts, frame construction, furniture back panels, and a wide range of other furniture applications.
By combining advanced technology with expert workmanship, we deliver components that are ready for further assembly and meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
