I think he is hot melting a straight edge on to the rough edged stock and runs the straight edge along the TS fence. With this type application or a sled like I use it takes "1" pass on the TS to straighten the most crooked of edges. With a jointer that takes several passes. Think about taperng a leg, you can do that on a jointer with several passes or with 1 pass using a taper jig on the TS. The jig the TS workes much like a taper jig, it uses a straight edge to reference the TS fence.

I can make several passes on my jointer and rip the plank to size before my glue gun even warms up. Probably faster than I can dig out my glue gun and hook it up:-)

Tapered legs are a jointer specialty, wanted or not:-)
Not for me...
I greatly prefer my taper sled.
Whoosh! ;)
