Time and time again? Nope, don't agree. Many times I get an edge I
can't improve upon off the saw. Sometimes not. The "improved" edge I
get off the jointer is no better than the really good ones I get off the
saw.

In a separate thread, a discussion has evolved to discussing the difference

I believe that if all of the equipment is setup properly, all blades are
quality ones, sharp and the procedures are sound, a jointer will still
render a better quality surface than a tablesaw time and time again.

Thoughts?
