I'd rather use a jointer if it were worth fighting a big piece. Also with big honking tops, I usually end up sanding a sawn edge, I'd much prefer removing machining marks from the jointer, or better yet, parts from opposite shear straight cutter I've got in a shaper. It may be a clean cut coming off of a saw blade, but it's not as clean as my go to methods are.
I see posts about sawmarks and others saying they have none. Seems impossible to me, which is why I posted. I don't think I'm getting anything less than expected in cut quality from anything I've got.
