Planer Issue

Just wanted to notify at least someone about it but I think one of the blades in the planer is chipped. I sent a board through and there is a ridge line that goes from front to back where it didn’t cut. there is some pretty bad snipe as well.

In use there are ways to minimize snipe, but it can be a challenge to eliminate it completely. The best way with a machine of this type is to run another board through before starting and before the end so they overlap. Holding up on the board as it begins and ends also helps.
