Ok, thanks. I understand how this makes the sanding disk only sand at one small location on the edge of the board. I still don't understand how this turns the table saw into a jointer. A jointer straightens and squares two adjacent faces of a board to each other. If you use the rip fence to run the opposite edge of the board from the sanding disk, the board will have 2 opposite edges that are mostly parallel to each other, but neither may be straight.
Can you further clarify this for me?
