Likewise, people ask, can you use a planer without a jointer?

You can use a planer without a jointer to clean up rough surfaces, resaw and flatten thick boards, and precisely dimension parts. You can also fill the jointer's role in prepping rough lumber with a planer sled, creative use of the table saw, or hand planes. But there's no replacement for a planer.

Beside above, do I really need a thickness planer? But, to answer your question: no, a belt sander won't replace a planer for thicknessing stock. If you really want to get into woodworking, a thickness planer is worth the cost. Once you have it, you'll never regret the expenditure, because you'll be in control of your stock thickness like never before.

Beside above, is a jointer the same as a planer?

A jointer creates a flat surface on wood, and yes, it can be used to correct bow and warp on one side of a board at a time. "A planer is a thicknesser. It takes a thick board and makes it thinner. At the same time, the planer will also make the rough side both smooth, and parallel to the other side.

Will a planer fix warped boards?

In order to flatten a warped, twisted, or cupped board, a common approach is to first use a jointer to create one perfectly flat face. Then you run the board through a thickness planer with the flat face downward, and the planer makes the top face parallel to the bottom.
