Default Special rabbet/rebate cutter.....

I was looking over the instructions with my Gifkin's jig and there are instructions to make a box. What caught my eye was his mentioning of a rebate cutter that is used with the box and joints fitted together would be used on the table to run around the inside of the box to groove for a bottom or top or both. This seems to solve alot of the problems we encounter when using these joints that don't allow us to just slot each board as the slots are visible when assembled. This has a bearing on it and keeps it from piercing thru the box sides. Here is a pic of the cutter, it is the second cutter in the photo:

Anybody know if there is a cutter like this avialable in the states? Pretty handy little item it looks like!
