Is there any way that I can adjust my jointer to prevent the wood from
being sniped on the last 1 or 2 inches of the board? I have the Jet
model JJ-6CSX jointer and I am not sure if snipe is a common problem
on all jointers, if it's an adjustment issue on the model I have, or
if it is something that I am doing wrong when I run the boards through
jointer.

Don't _need_ a dial indicator. Unplug, lay a straight edge on the outfeed
table, extending over the cutterhead. As you rotate by hand, it's ok for
the cutter to kiss the edge, but not raise it. And remember, you've got
three knives, any one of which could be too high.
If you're sniping more than the distance between the cutter at TDC and the
edge of the outfeed table(~3/4"), you've got other problems.

That useless gage is worth another gouge.
Me back to use the lathe in my basement.

Might be your technique. Are you applying downward pressure over the knives?
If so, don't. Instead, hold the wood against the infeed table until there's
enough of it on the outfeed table to hold it there. Then hold it against the
outfeed table only, for the remainder of the pass. *Always* use push blocks,
never your hands.

what Doug said, and/OR, the outfeed table might be a bit low. If you
don't have a dial indicator with magnetic base, now is the time to get one.

George, you missed the point! Whenever there is a "need" for a new
tool, why not get one? :) I'm still racking my brain to come up with a

Man, my g/f gave me an apron "Will Cook for Sex" but that is now opening
a whole other universe. Gotta get me a nice new apron for the workshop
now...my eyes are now opened.
Several of the "on topic" posts have indicated your outfeed table is too
low. Also check your knives on the cutterhead. Make sure that they are
aligned in place as indicated in the instruction booklet. They may be set
too high, or unevenly in the cutterhead.
Aligning the knives is somewhat of a bitch, because of the way they sit in
the cutterhead. I've spent many a happy hour aligning them (NOT!). I
bought the "Jointer Pal", which is a magnetic "jig" that allows you to set
the knives to the correct height. It make the process somewhat easier.
Assuming you knives are straight and true in the cutterhead, next check is
your outfeed table.
Good luck -
