It almost completely eliminated my snipe issues.Currently I also own the same Dewalt that you have. I use it for jobsite work only, when I am finishing or doing renovations. It is far better than the Delta with the snipe issue because of the head lock. That Dewalt does not have bed rollers so if it snipes more than you can live with build the table thru it. I think mine was 48'',but 36'' would probably work just as well. Mike.
