I turned over my P/T blades (resharpenables) yesterday and now the weather has cooled down today I started on another box. The planer the top gear on my SIP P/T is producing snipe on the planing operation (thicknessing is OK)

I am sure I am putting the pressure down on the correct end (far end) but at the end of the plane a snipe is coming up,(quite deep) at the last end.

Please advise what is going wrong or am I losing my strenght.?

edit: strength was a typo :)
 
Maybe check the blade height off the outfeed table. Chances are they might be a little bit too proud. Blades should drag a straightedge about 3mm along the outfeed table but no more.
