I'm working on a fussy little project to use up some scraps. A lot of these pieces were too short to be safely planed down to 1/2" thickness. I glued up some short pieces and ran them through the planer and it worked perfectly. The side rails were really the key.

I have a couple older Delta 22-540 planers which a terrible snipers. By adding a couple of runners to the sides, snip is moved forward off my stock, allowing for use of shorter pieces, thus saving wood.
