as one of the things I will use this for is planing out those little cutouts
from Steinway long bridges. Similarly, I will be running the topside
through the planer as well. What is the best way to avoid snipe when
pushing something like that through?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have an old Ryobi that I bought
from a woodworking neighbor a couple of years ago. I remember giving him
about $75 for the planer with 3 extra blade sets recently professionally
sharpened. He upgraded to a DeWalt because it causes less snipe at the
ends of the planed boards. <br>
<br>
Snipe is a problem with most planers. There are several ways to make it
less of a problem, but none that I know of that will completely eliminate it.
I either waste the 3 inches at each end of the board that has the snipe,
or I can almost eliminate it by feeding short sacrificial boards in ahead and
behind the good board. <br>
<br>
Several of the woodworking magazines have had extensive reviews in the last
year or so. One likes Makita, another DeWalt, another Delta, another
Ridgid, etc. I wouldn't think you'd go wrong with any of those.</span></font></p>
