I'm wondering if it's possible to use a table saw to joint and glue wood pieces together in a way that creates a seamless look, similar to what you get with a jointer or planer. Are there any specific techniques or tools I should use?

Absolutely, you can achieve a nice joint using a table saw sled! Basically, you create a sled that holds the wood tightly against the fence, which helps you cut a straight edge. This method allows for a flat joint that you can then glue for a seamless look. Just make sure everything is clamped down well while you cut!
Yep, it can work well if done right! Just ensure you're careful with alignment.
Theoretically, yes! You can do it with a table saw, but I’d say a hand plane tends to give the best results for a perfect edge. Just keep in mind, using a hand plane can be more time-consuming.
But isn't it a bit slower? Guess there's no rush in woodworking, right? ?
Can it really be glued super tight using that sled method though?
