Ok I am looking to getting into woodwoorking, cruently pricing jointers.
planers, and table saws (there is a mill right down the road that I can get
mixed HW 1x6 9ft long for a buck a board) and I was just wondering if there
is a tool out there I should be looking into that makes like a tougn and
grove egdes to wood for you can join them together, or how you would go
about joing boards together to make like a table that wont have gaps.

Actually I would not hesitate to race to that mill and get that lumber as fast as
I could at that price... simply get there, I suggest.

You should be able to find about a zillion T&G planes up there in
Maine for very reasonable prices. That's assuming that you don't
like tailed tools. Otherwise a router is the first thing that
comes to mind. OTOH, a rubbed joint should do what you want, and
that can be done with a jointer, a jointer plane, or a router.
There are lots of ways to skin this cat, how much do you like
noise is the starting point.

Deborah Kelly,
You can use a router with a tongue and groove bit. They look like this

Get the machines that you have listed and simply glue the boards up edge to
edge. No need for tongue and groove for a table top.

No need for T&G, just properly jointed boards, edges glued to each
other. I suggest you get yourself a good book or maybe take a course.
Go to:

and click on reference books on the frame on the left. A favourite
here is Tage Frid's series.

I was disappointed with Tage's book #3. The books 1&2 convinced me
that #3 would be as good but it fell short for me.

As a newby you are asking the wrong question by
focusing on tongue and groove. That type of joint
wastes too much wood, just a straight cut with
biscuits to help alignment or 1/4" grooves is both
boards with a 1/4" plywood slip saves wood and
helps alignment. There are other ways also to
help alignment.
You can get straight edges with a table saw or a
jointer (a table saw is easier). If the boards
are not warped you don't need a jointer, but you
will likely need a planer and it will certainly help.

I searched for that book, least was $49.94 used and most was around $160. I
think it was recently out of print. So I am now borrowing it from the library
and scanning it. It will be a pdf soon.
