sounds like great results if you are getting smooth planing on maple. In order to take a fine finish pass , you'd need or use a finish planer or a wide belt sander even better.
The grainy spots in wood is always gonna give you some trouble, try tiger maple you'll see.

as far as sniping, many causes and usually it's on the way out not in.

read this, maybe the infeed roller is out of adjustment a slight amount
or the bed roller is high.
Thickness Planer Setup

the settings he describes and shows in the picture are spot on

This is more in depth of the same thing

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
