Just got a 15" Grizzly planer with a spiral cutterhead (G0453Z). I am having some issues with snipe. I adjusted everything to the factory settings (the outfeed roller was set lower than specifications) and that seemed to help some, but I am still getting some snipe. I was getting it on both...
So I'm in the market for a new planer after my old delta model from Lowes has pooped out. It was never quite right, the boards would come out slightly thicker on one side, and snipe was a big issue. So I'm kinda happy to be looking for another.
