Problem
Possible Cause
Possible Solution

twisted.
Workpiece is twisted
before the cut.
Planer is not the tool to flatten a twisted
workpiece. Flatten one side with a jointer before
proceeding with a planer.
Feed/bed roller is not
parallel with the
cutterhead.
Adjust roller/table parallelism.
Excessive snipe
Extension tables slope
down.
Adjust the extension tables to make them
parallel with the planer bed.

supported properly.
Use auxiliary rollers to support a long workpiece.
A small amount of
sniping can happen
sometimes.
Add an extra 6” length on a workpiece for
planing, and then trim off the ends.
End of workpiece
chipping
Aggressive depth of cut

Do not plane end grain. Use a drum sander
instead.

removed in one pass.
Reduce feed rate/depth of cut.
Indentation in
