Sycamore67 Posted May 31, 2022 Report 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 OCtoolguy, John B and kmmcrafts 2 1 Quote

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
Garyrenee Posted June 9, 2022 Report 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. OCtoolguy and new2woodwrk 1 1 Quote
