Hi all,
My HMS260ci is a pretty competent planer thicknesser and now that I've ground and honed the blades the finish is really very nice indeed.
On stock over a couple of cm thick there is no detectable snipe on either soft or hard woods. However when thicknessing some 8mm oak lippings I get slight but repeatable snipe on the END of the pass. This occurs even when I carefully support the outfeed.
The snipe itself is usually a single dip in the surface, rather than the classic thinner section from the start of the snipe to the end of the piece. It looks to me like the stock is twanging up as it leaves the in feed roller then settling down again.
Has anyone else had this problem, especially Scheppach owners? Anything I can do about it?
I was wondering if putting thin stock through on a plywood substrate might help, as one would use for really thin stock to make up the thickness - possibly with double sided carpet tape to stick the lipping down. Could do a few at once then.
Cheers
Martyn
