-
- Yes, face joining - then you plane. The stock is now straight and uniform.
-
- There are billions of ways to do edge joining without a joiner.
-
- Buying a jointer just to do occasional edges is a waste of money in
- my opinion. You really want to make your stock perfectly square
- and straight on *all* faces. That's where the jointer really pays
- off.
-
- But if you go to all the trouble to face join a board and you then don't
- have a thicness planer to make the other side match - well, I suppose you
- can use a dado or planer head for your radial arm saw, then one swipe with
- the jointer to clean it up...... it could work - or do a resaw job with
- your table saw with the joined face against fence - that could work.
-
- But having a planer makes it so much easier (no s**t sherlock....).
