Fig. 18: Planing of a board
Avoiding snipe
Snipe is caused by the board tilting slightly towards the
beginning and the end of the thicknessing operation.
It shows as lines at the ends of the board, parallel with
the cutterhead.
To avoid snipe:
either support the board on extension tables set to
the same level as the in-feed and out-feed tables,
OR
mount the machine in a recess in the bench so that
the feed tables are level with the bench.
Check before starting work:
- ON/OFF switch
- non-return device
- cutter cover
