| Chris Garcia |  SnipingApril 24th, 2003 12:17 PM How do you keep from sniping the ends of a board on a jointer/planer? |
| Benny Buggs | Sniping June 9th, 2003 01:37 AM From what I have read on the subject: you can't do anything about the "sniping on the end of boards using a joiner. It is caused by the mechanics of the way they work. I understand that there is less with some brands than others, but they all cause some. Just make the original board longer then cut to proper length later. Sorry to disappoint. |
| Bill Fay | Sniping January 17th, 2004 08:49 PM Best way to reduce the amount of snipe is to take light cuts as you get close to your finished thickness. |
| George Isenbart | Sniping February 15th, 2004 06:58 PM I read an article that said, when you start your board in the planer to hold slight pressure upward on the board until the second roller gets hold of the board. Also when the board comes out to hold slight upward pressure on the board until it clears the last roller. |
| Rick Kop | Sniping April 18th, 2004 09:06 AM Try putting a scrap piece of the same thickness into the planner immediately fallowed by the board you want to plane. This way the snip will be on the piece of scrap. Works for me. |
