Such rabbets can be gauged by marking on the upper surface of the wood oppositethe ends of the projected rabbet, and also on the gauge, or on the bench-top, opposite thepoints where the edge of the saw rises above the bench-top when adjusted to cut the re-quired depth (Fig. 257). Then place the piece so that the further marks agree, lower itupon the saw and push it along until the nearer marks are opposite one another. But it issafer to use a block at each end. Such rabbets can be cut with a moulding-machine, andalso on the circular-saw bench with a cutter of the required shape or by wabbling the Fig. 257 Common Tools and Their Uses 99 Mouldings and other odd-shaped pieces can, if necessary, beroughed out or worked approximately to shape with the circular-saw (Fig. 258), the final trimming and smoothing being done by heads, to substitute for the saw for such work, are made in agreat variety of shapes.
