dw735 planer without extension tables

Absolutely. On long and/or heavy boards, it's important to support the ends, but that's pretty much a given anyway. I'd like to have the tables sometime, but I'm getting very good results without them, so I'm not really in a hurry to buy them just yet.

I've been using mine without the extension tables for several months with no problems -- I've run 4-8ft boards through it. I my opinion they are completely unnecessary. You'd be better off buying some type of roller support that you can place farther out from planer.

I've had almost no snipe -- maybe a few thousands of an inch sometimes. Just ran some 6 foot 12 inch wide Goncalo Alves boards with no problems and no visible snipe.
