Sycamore67 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) One way of avoiding snipe is to run boards end to end. You can also use a scrap board at the front and end. I do this and virtually eliminate snipe. Edited May 31, 2022 by Sycamore67 kmmcrafts, John B and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now has some major scratch in the platten that I have no clue how it got there, and is leaving lines down my boards. and it's got a difficult time to get down to 1/4" thick where I do most of my planing. I thought about a 734, but I just ordered the 735x from Amazon. Comes with the tables and extra knives. Not cheap, but next year I want to put a shelix head on it, and I could not get one for the 733. I want to be able to plane down some of that figured and quilted maple. 735X is $615 right now on Amazon. Put a Formica covered plate over the bed. Made one for mine. Works fine. Made mine an inch thick so I can still use the thickness scale less an inch. Saves measuring every time. Just sayin OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyrenee Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 This is what I’ve done to one of my planers. Laminate makes a great base. If it ever gets gouged it can easily be replaced. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
