I've got one of the benchtop planers and have been getting some snipe. The common advice I've seen is to raise the infeed/outfeed wings (so the leading/trailing edges of the board don't pivot up into the cutter when the long end dips off the infeed/outfeed table)

My question is how much the wings can be raised, and what happens if they are raised too much?

I've raised the wings so that a long board across the wings would clear the planer bed by almost 1/8" now... and still get some snipe.

(this is on a ridgid r4330 planer; finish is otherwise fine, and I'm just cutting off the extra 2")
