I press down on the the board as the front is just entering the planer and I press down on the the board as it emerges from the planer. This keeps the board from tipping up into the cutter at the beginning and the end of the pass. This tipping is what causes snipe.
I have not. I did read up on an old forum that putting a new set of cutter knives might do the trick. It stipulates the wear on knives creating a bigger gap between the cutter head and rollers in height from the bed. If thats the issue, getting a Byrd shelix might fix it. Will try new knives and report back if it works.
There must be a way to fix it internally because I had zero snipe when I first got it. Also, I've seen people make a sled out of MDF and that seems to work pretty well. But I'm not sure that it fully addresses the issue. Either way, sofa king annoying in a tool that costs so much money. 😡
This is a good data point you brought up, thank you. I don't remember my DW735 not having snipes at first - this could be just my memory lapse. If what you observed is gradual snipe setting in, there must be something messing up the placement of either the in/out feed rollers or the knife roller over time. If i find time to disassemble and find potential cause for it (and hopefully a fix) i will make a follow up video. This has been such an annoying issue that persisted so long...
Yea a lot of these snip fix videos with the 735 confuse me because mine has no snipe out of the box, just slapped on the tables and never had an issue. My old benchtop had a ton of snipe no matter what I did, even with a sled it had snipe. I wonder if something wears over time creating more movement with the wood.
Gents, would you measure the gap between the straight line from infeed and outfeed roller using a straight edge or a metal ruler and the lowest position of the knife on the cutter roller? I think we are onto something given you guys had/have a DW735 with no snipe. I am going to measure it after my day job and post here.

Have you tried a helical blade?

Yes, incredibly frustrating. I should not have to use a sled for such a costly machine. Nor should I have to fix what seems like a defect.

@@FuturePrimitiveWCit has to be something like that. I'm guessing its related to the roller tension on the wood. It has to be
