Just to let everyone know As soon as the board starts to go on the
outfeed table I put pressure only on that side. I am being careful to
do samething everytime. Everytime the same thing. About a half inch
from the end where the dip happens. What is the proper height
difference between the outfeed and the blade. I will use a feeler
gauge. I do thank everyone for the help. Gerald

and it can be caused by poor technique as Leon pointed out.

Hello Everyone, I need some help here. Using my 8" jointer, which I
think is set up right, the very end of the board has a slight snipe in
it. I quess the question is what am I not doing right or what I am I
doing wrong. Thanks for the help. Gerald



It could be that your out feed table is too high in relation ship with
the cutters or it could be your technique.
Be sure to only have you hands on the out feed side of the table when
pushing the trailing end of the board through the cutter.
