A Dewalt DW735 planer showed up in my garage. I had a piece of 1x4 pine scrap I played with to see what it would do. Ran several 1/32" and 1/16" passes. Got a nice pile of chips in the driveway, a much thinner piece of scrap with a nice surface, and a pretty light snipe pattern about 3" in from the end.
I don't have space for a dedicated planer stand with fixed in and out-feed tables, so ordered the Dewalt add-on fold-up kit. Those may not be perfect, but that are what I currently have the space for.
I thought I saw something here on the amount to adjust the tables up from perfectly flat in line with the planer table to effectively remove the snipe problem, but did not write it down and cannot find that thread again.
What's the correct amount to raise the outside edge of the tables, and are both in-feed and out-feed adjusted up the same amount?
Thanks for any advice and guidance,
Tom
