Now that I have a new planer, I’m off to the races on addressing snipe as effectively as possible. One of my Luthier friends recommended making a surface to go on top of my planer Table to go beyond infeed and outfeed extension (flip tables) to avoid snipe. If this is a old subject sorry about being redundant.
I’ve been exploring possible options and have a few questions.
This Idea is what I think is in the ball park of what need to make the long 36” or 48” 1.5 inch square laminates for bass guitar necks..
Here are a few ideas I found on YouTube

I’m wondering how long to make these insert tables? Shooting for two lengths as I mentioned above 36 or 48”.
Have any of you made one and like it?
One last question, is a Torsion box type highly recommended, or can a 2 3/4 inch MDF sheets and a melamine top suffice?
Currently I don’t have a truly flat assembly table.
Thoughts? Thanks!
