If a TS is set up properly with a good blade it can produce a smoother

If you go by the rules the jointer is used on only two surfaces, to
straighten the edge and flatten the face. The opposite edge is
straightened by thee TS. The opposite surface is flattened by a planer.

Thank you for the reminder: That makes perfect sense. It wasn't always
that way! ; )



I can't say. It was not always that way for me until I started buying
quality blades.

I recall in shop class in 1968 you would receive 3 licks if caught using
the jointer to surface more one edge and one side or to clean up a an
edge after going through the TS. ;~)

Maybe that was what those hand planes were for. ;~)

No, no, no. Use your Feztool Dremel-like companion tool.
