Jointers are good to use for a narrow range of tasks.

A straight, square to one other edge is their main purpose.

Trying to use a Jointer to do thickness planing is going to be frustrating at best.

There are no provision for the two faces to even be parallel to one another, let alone have equal thicknesses at infeed and outfeed ends.

A Jointer is the beginning, with a Thickness Planer or Sander being the next step.

Then all you'll have to content with is "snipe".
