I don't have a jointer and have used a table saw jointer jig in the past with mixed result (typically, good on short stock, not so much on long stock). It finally struck me how to use the CNC as a jointer with a simple jig.
I used steel dowel pins for consistent registration of the jig. That and a couple T tracks and clamps, and it's ready to go. The Vcarve program is pretty simple. 3/8" downcutter leaves a glassy finish!
Is it as fast as a real jointer? No. But it's actually much faster than I thought it would be.
