I agree about the 1/16". Take a 1/16" cut versus the kerf-width cut off
the front side that they indicate. Lower the blade below the table. Clamp
the jig in place as they show, then turn on the TS and raise the blade.
That will allow 1/16" slice on each pass. FWIW. -- Igor

I don't think this is true because the jig shown has the infeed and
outfeed fence faces at different planes - just like on a real planer.
I don't think it will be as ultimately accurate as can be acheieved on
a properly set up planer with an iron table, but it seems like it could
probably do a fair job of straightening edges that are not yet
straight.

Of course, that produces a good clean edge *only* if the face of the board is
already jointed straight and flat...

Of course it's true. Think about it: if the face that's on the table saw is
not straight and flat, the board will inevitably rock at some point or points
during its trip past the blade. And thus the "jointed" edge will acquire a
twist, because it's not maintaining a constant angle to the blade.
BTW, you mean "just like on a real jointer".
And, just like on a real jointer, you need to have the reference face straight
and flat *first* before you try to joint the edge. This is *exactly* the same
situation as trying to joint an edge on a jointer without having jointed the
face first.

You misspelled "jointer" again.

Only if the reference face is already straight and flat.
If the reference face is twisted, this method will produce a twisted edge,
just like you'd get on a jointer if you try to edge-joint twisted stock. Note,
also, that cupped or bowed boards inevitably have some twist as well, unless
the degree of cup or bow is *identical* on both edges of the board (highly
unlikely IMO) and thus are subject to the same problem.

That's neat, you could use one jig clamped to the fence and do either a 1/16"
or a 1/8" cut... nifty! I might make one for the adult ed. class. New knives
seem to never show up on the old Oliver.

Why so complicated? I make a close cut, then do a micro-cut, really
just a shaving, with no stress on the blade. "Smooth as a baby's
bum".

That assumes you already have one straight edge to run along the fence.
This gives you that first straight edge.
