I’m so tired of people getting the snipe issue so wrong. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the deck (bottom) of the planer. The problem is with the upper carriage. The cutting head being locked to the rollers is the problem. When a board passes through the planer, it hits the first roller, which applies upward pressure to the carriage but, unless the planer was designed by a Swiss watchmaker, there is going to be a definite amount of play in the carriage level. In short, it will rock. The first roller hits, the cutter starts cutting at that level, then the second roller hits and the carriage is suddenly lifted to a more level position thus, changing the depth of the cut. One of the best and safest ways to avoid snipe is to cut at extremely shallow intervals. 1/64 or less works for me. The other method is to use a sacrificial board. Other than making sure it’s level and clear of debris, the deck never has to be addressed. When someone develops a carriage that has a cutting head that is independent from the feed rollers, our snipe issues will be over. To be truthful, that the way a planer should’ve been designed from the start.

Yup, this is the actual issue. What I do is plane heavy and let snipe happen when hogging off material, but at the last 1/16 of an inch or so, I take really light passes. Snipe from the hogging step gets fixed during the light passes. Make sure your infeed and outfeed tables are flat and not sagging when weight is applied, that will make the snipe even worse.

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives ru-vid.comUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

I recently purchased the DW735X after many days researching. This thing is not only my first thickness planer, it's awesome! I get no snipe and it make life a lot easier. I purchased a used Craftsman jointer/planer to resurface my cedar fencing. It took a while and worked well. The other night I ran a few boards through the DW735X and was amazed at the speed and quality!

The jig does make the most sense, I'm currently facing 3ft long 2" thick cherry, snipe is a problem with these boards. I'll have to make myself a nice long jig for my 8ft 4" walnut I need to plane

@grahamh1067 3 года назад

ive been having this exact problem making some cutting boards. been dealing with the snipe by doing a ton of sanding, and the boards don't end up being the thickness i initially wanted, not a big deal, but a bit of a pain. that jig is a great tip, i will be making one of those right away. thanks so much.

Haha yea it’s hard to eliminate entirely no matter what planer

@thenext9537 Год назад

I spent a couple hours with my planer when I first got it. Especially the infeed and outfeed tables. I used a magnetic level to hold the tables in place on each side and tighten up. Then I'd snug them and use a tapping motion to get them perfectly flat. The challenge I have right now is I have around 8 - 8 to 10 foot boards of 8/4 walnut to plane out. Yep, I have to build a pretty big infeed and outfeed table. When I first run a piece through, I'm on the absolute lightest setting. I noticed that more passes seems to help vs going deep (ie, 1/32 or 1/16, mayb 1/8 vs something aggressive like 1/4..ouch). The in feed table and outfeed table are really key. Even a temp set up if you are going to run a couple grand worth of walnut through will be really helpful in the end and less costly overall. Great tips.

@TonyFromarty 2 года назад

@yazr1712 Год назад

Thanks for the great video! I'm wondering when it comes to the sacrificial pieces, do they have to be the exact same thickness of the main piece? I'm just wondering if you could use scrap as the sacrificial wood - or does it have to be the same stock?

@HeliRy 8 месяцев назад

Just bought a 735 without the folding tables. Was pondering if I should get them, but your first idea is great! I could even attach some feet to the board so it’s sitting on the work table, adding stability and eliminating any chance of it flexing even a little. Not a fan of the 2nd idea though. Only because it’s extra wear and tear on the blades.

@erikl10001 2 года назад

I like that jig setup. I just picked up my first planer, a used delta 55-240, and although I get no noticeable snipe on the leading edge of my work I get maybe 3" on the trailing edge. I'm wondering if there is a point of diminishing return when it comes to in and out feed support. If I had 2' of support on each end would it make a difference compared to the 10" or 12" that the DeWalt wings are? I'm planning to build a sort of multi function out feed table for my table saw and use my table saw as infeed for the planer so I'm working out the size still.

@brettlandry7820 Год назад

I use an 8' piece of 3/4 plywood, works great to eliminate snipe.

@charlieodom9107 3 года назад

Another tip: You can attach boards to the outside of your work piece that stick out each end by 6" or so as well...so long as your work piece allows it. For example: when making cutting boards, you can add a sacrificial thin strip to the width of each board, and this would eliminate the snipe, as the snipe would be on the sacrificial boards. Then, when you are done planing, just run them through the tablesaw to cut them off. An alternative to this is to leave the outer two boards on the panel glueup a few inches longer on each end, then cut it off after planing. Using this method, you end up with a small strip of waste as opposed to a whole cutting board width of waste. One more note: you only have to do this to the first and last cutting board, if you are running a batch through, as those will be the only ones with snipe. Now, you only have a tiny couple pieces of waste for the entire run of boards.

@TWC6724 Год назад

So what’s the difference between the jig and having the extension wings totally flat with the bed of the planer? I’ve always wondered that.

@nicholassphyr 11 месяцев назад

I found a used dw735 that is 12years old that was used buy a home hobbyist ... it looks on good shape is it worth buying or just too old ? thanks :)

@patrickhenry240 3 года назад

My favorite trick is to have the outside boards on a glue up longer so the extra length gets sniped and not the "money" face.

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 3 года назад

That’s a pretty damn good idea! 👊

@CHUCKYCHUCKYBOBUCY 3 года назад

@Player__Unknown 2 года назад

Should my planer be perfectly level with the extension beds? Just picked up the extension tables and it's just barley uneven. Should I mess with the heights on the wings to make it level?

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 2 года назад

No, most of the time the furthest end from the planner will be canted upward slightly. This puts pressure on the board as it’s being fed and exiting that will help reduce the snipe

@crucettij 3 года назад

Nice idea, but question..the jig doesnt look any longer than the wings. The jig just more stable?

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 3 года назад

Yes, and it was also an intended method that could be used on other planers that may not have the same wing setup.

@lucasbwilson168 3 года назад

I think the idea is to have one flat surface all the way through, rather than your material having to go through 3 different surfaces that you hope are level.

@Nick-nk5mf 3 года назад

No idea what is with my DT735, I always get about a 1/4" deep snipe for about 1 1/2" at each end of the board. Tried different blades, tried different infeed/outfeed, tried using a marble countertop as a bed for the wood, doesn't matter what I do, always get snipe on this thing. Not sure if mine is just a PoS or what but it's very frustrating trying every fix I can find but nothing working.

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 3 года назад

Oh man, that sucks. Might just me a lemon or maybe something with the blades.

@haighyvshaighy 2 года назад

Can someone tell me if I’m planing wrong? I run my boards through at 1/32 pass, one time I ran my board again without adjusting the depth on the cutter blades and when it passed through the blades engaged again and made cuts. What is it cutting? Didn’t the previous pass through take off the desired 1/32”?

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 2 года назад

Is the part against the bed flat? Could be rocking

@badaphooko02 3 года назад

I saw this on another video and it didn't work for me. I have a rigid planer,I took off the wings and used some melamine I even used some L brackets to secure the board on both sides so there is no movement. Unfortunately there was snipe on every board. I don't know what else to do.

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 3 года назад

Oh man, that’s not good. What about using he sacrificial boards on front and back?

@heinzweickert1668 2 года назад

I am new to planers and just got one of the same model. I am running 12" long boards, 7" wide, 3/4" thick. There is a lag at about the last 2-1/2" going through and I get "snipe". Is this normal? Thanks

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 2 года назад

Running boards that long without proper indeed and out feed support will increase the chances of snipe for sure

@heinzweickert1668 2 года назад

@@PenaltyBoxWoodshop The boards are only 12 inches long. I think I found 2 problems. One I was taking too much off in 1 pass, and two I am using "Select" pine from home depot (supposedly their best) and the middle of the boards is crowned almost 1/16".

@PenaltyBoxWoodshop 2 года назад

Oh sorry! I read feet. Yea those boards are tough to work with sometimes. Small passes will always work better
