Is some planer snipe to be expected?

I have an older version of a 735 . I have the tables carefully set such that the outer edge of outfeed table is at tthe same elevation as the planer bed . I use a 4 foot rigid level as a straight edge and pit a little load on it with the planer height adjustment and dial the table pu to match.
I actually get hardly any snipe even on 20 in long stock.
The other thing that helps is to take you last cut to finished thickness as a light cut around 1/32 of an inch. This reduces the load from feed rollers which is correctly discussed in posts above. Lastly if tou are working on multiple boards send the next board through immediately behind the current board. This reduces / eliminates snipe from all except the firse edge in and the last board edge out. YouTube has as mentioned tons of info on this.

This comes as a pleasant surprise for me to hear. When I first brought these principles up 25 years ago, woodworking lynch mobs were amassed to take my head for the blasphemy I was espousing. 😱 🔥 🤣 Glad to hear times have changed a little.

The exchange of information and the deposition of one's opinion should never be an issue. Time in grade and experience sometimes can be misunderstood blurring the line between fact and fiction.
