"Must have" feature

[Schleeper]

I don't consider the amount of snipe I'm getting to be a big problem, but I'm going to follow those great recommendations anyway. Thanks, all.

The 4 boards range in size from 13-1/2" to about 27". The recommended minimum size is 14".

I thought the operator's manual was pretty good, but there's not a single mention of using a sled. It DID say that the best result is obtained if one of the faces is already planed.

Compared to what?

I adjusted the table extensions so they were level with the planing table, as instructed, but I'm still getting some snipe.

I adjusted my tables by putting 2 nickels under each of 2 levels on the main table and clamping them in place with the head assy. Then adjusted the tables to just touch the levels and, no noticible snipe.
I do try to not plane anything shorter than about 24".
Anyway, it works for me.
And the Indi-cut feature was right on from the factory and is a most valuable feature IMO.
