US vs British (and Australian?) woodworking terminologies
I've been reading a lot of old ShopNotes magazines lately, and I've realized that the yanks use different terms to everyone else. Go figure!
They call a slot that runs with the grain a groove, one that runs across the grain is a dado, and a notch that is cut out of the edge of a board is called a rabbet.
Apparently the UK terms for are plough, trench, and rebate respectively.
What are the terms here in Australia? Do we make a distinction between the groove/plough and dado/trench like the yanks and poms do?
I hope I'm not overthinking this. :p
