Snipe with no known way to fix - Axminster AP260SPT

[AutoDoc Williams]

Agree that a good planer (Yank here) shouldn't render any snipe on either end and there's likely a fix for it, BUT...I always apply a little upward pressure on the inboard side of the board until the 2nd feed roller grabs it, and then walk around to the outfeed side and do the same before the trailing edge leaves the 1st feed roller. This encourages the "loose" end of the board to stay down against the planer deck. This will help mitigate poor adjustments inside that machine.

As I mentioned earlier, it is trial and error adjusting the spring tension while keeping the bed well waxed. Are your feed rollers rubber or steel? Make sure they are clean.
