Essential Upgrade Cheap Fast and Easy

John Heisz - I Build It

Throw away the metal tables that came with your planer and do this instead. Seriously, it's way better a true upgrade.
Before I made the original, I had a serious problem during the winter with slipping on the feed rollers. Turned out the smooth, polished metal bed of the planer had too much friction and the feed rollers couldn't grip the stock well enough to push it through. Changing to the melamine table SOLVED that perfectly. In fact, it did such a great job of fixing that problem, I almost forgot about it!

Doesn't have to be fancy or complex the table can be longer if you need it but the big thing is that it's quick and easy to install and take off, and doesn't take up a lot of room in the shop.

It doesn't prevent snipe, but no feed table arrangement will for these small planers. To stop snipe, you need to have continuous feed so that stock is under BOTH rollers when the cutter is cutting. I use a sacrificial piece of stock to feed in before I send in the stuff I want to plane, and that sacrificial piece takes the snipe. I made a video showing the method and you can watch that here:
