Steve, where my thoughts went was with the feed rollers. Does that extra 1/32" they are depressed into the head have any effect on snipe? What kind of travel for the feed rollers did Dewalt engineer into the unit?

The only reason I even thought of that was I have read some people who went with the smaller Shelix cutter talked about snipe being present where it wasn't before the upgrade. I haven't run across anyone installing the OEM Shelix cutter making that claim, though they may be out there.

As for the tables, I have not seen any way they can be adjusted, but I stopped looking after I read they were engineered that way to prevent snipe.
