Hi all,

Recently saw a well respected carpenter on instagram milling some white oak into stair treads and his process was:
Straight line rip one edge on tablesaw using a sled with clamps
Joint face
Joint one edge
Rip the alternate edge

Clearly he knows what he's doing as he has a lot of experience but I am still trying to understand the benefit for the straight line rip, since it's getting hit with the jointer right after? Saving possible time on the edge jointing or something I'm not thinking of?

Thank you.
