Popular Post difalkner Posted January 29, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 When I do my glue-ups for cutting boards I leave a 'stick' or two a bit long on either end to prevent snipe in not only the planer but also the drum sander. This has the same effect as feeding a sacrificial board before and after your target board for surfacing. I don't always get snipe on my DW735 planer but it's often enough that doing this eliminates the snipe. The little board that's protruding may get some snipe but the target board doesn't. Hope this works for you like it does for me - David Al B, Stick486, Dadio and 9 others 6 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmealy Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 great idea. As I read this I wondered if putting some trash wood (like pine or trimmings from the scrap bin) even longer on the edges would work as well. Then just rip it off after the planing/sanding was done.

It will work just fine but I usually have longer boards of the type I'm using for the cutting board and just grab a couple of those. I find it works better to place them near the middle of the board, as well. Plus, I never have Pine in the shop so that's not an option for me.
