Woodworking - planer


Expert: Greg Scholl - 10/24/2008

Question
i have a delta 12 1/2" planer (tp305) i used it for the first time today and i am getting "big" dips on either side of the board as it is coming out the exit.  i checked the outfeeds for level, and they are.  what could it be?

Answer
Hi Guy, this sounds like end snipe, where the back roller drops off the board at the end of the pass and the blades dig a little deeper on that last few inches. Most newer planers have locking heads now that eliminate the sniping almost completely. I have an old Ryobi AP-10 and it suffers from bad end sniping, too. The only sure way to cure it is to feed a waste board in before the main board passes the and rollers. The waste or sacrificial board will suffer the sniping and the main board will come through intact.Kind of a pain, but it does work. Hope that helps- post back if need be- Greg
