Can't really figure out what's physically happening with my Bosch 3X" planer,
it invariably leaves a 1/8" snipe as soon as the forward bed goes over the edge
of the wood unless you deftly lift the tool up at the last second, and I'm not
that deft. There's no adjustment on the back bed and the blades are of the
double edged, throwaway variety so there's only one fixed position they
install in. Maybe the front bed is cocked? Hadn't thought of that. Be right
back. Nope, it checks out with a straightedge. Who knows?

Be sure to put the down pressure on the rear sole before finishing the cut.
Use your straightedge to be certain that the cutting edge arc is even with
the rear sole.
