SNIPE 

 

U

Definition

U

: Snipe is generally an unwanted undercut in the stock. It generally occurs in 

the first and last few inches of the stock length. It causes a different height 

dimension than what was selected for the stock. No molder/planer can completely 

eliminate snipe. 

U

Causes

U

1.

 

The stock may be cupped, warped, or twisted. 

2.

 

The stock experiences a change in down pressure as the out-feed roller engages 

the stock, and when the stock disengages the in-feed roller.  

3.

 

The stock may enter or exit the machine on an angle because it is either being fed 

from a higher or lower source than the bed, or it is exiting to a higher or lower 

plane. 

 

U

To minimize snipe

1.

 

Use slightly longer stock than originally intended so as to allow a discard area of 

stock. 

2.

 

Use a jointer to flatten cupped, warped, or twisted stock. 

3.

 

Butt stock pieces tight end to end.  

4.

 

Put a slight upward pressure on the exposed end of the stock during both the in-

feed and out-feed stroke.
