    OPERATIONS (Cont) AVOIDING SNIPE Snipe, gouging or depression of the board at the ends, can occur when the board is not properly supported. For workpieces longer than 4 ft, greater care must be taken to reduce the problem because the additional length of the workpiece translates into more unsupported weight pulling down on the end of the board.
