Hi Robert, I hope that this helps. A rabbet cut is along the edge of a board, usually to hold a back panel or to make a shelf or door that will hold a glass panel. The dado cut is usually cross grain and is used to hold a shelf or cabinet bottom. Lenny http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/

The edge of the joining board would be cut just the opposit this would mean you would have to litterally slide the one board into the groove starting at one end and the boards would interlock. So do these have two differant names? And if so what do they call each.
