   If you set the end of the outfeed table a tad bit high (maybe 1/16"), this will help keep the the end of the piece that's still under the rollers from raising up into the cutter as it exits. Supporting the piece as it goes in helps too.

   Frank,

   Do you have the outfeed table extensions?

   I got them when I purchased the machine, and haven;t had any problems with snipe.

   As mentioned above, the extension tables are pretty crucial to minimizing snipe.  At the price you paid, sounds like maybe you didn't get them?

   Pick up the in-feed and out-feed tables and set the outer edges high. Also, when you feed the material in hold upward pressure on the back of the material as it passes under the infeed roller and untill the outfeed roller picks it up. As the material exits, again hold upward presser as it passes the infeed roller and until it passes past the cutting head. Hope you can follow what I am saying. I always plain just short of thickness and then run my material through a drum sander.
