Pipe clamps will close a 1/4” or less gap easy. But then your boards will be out of square on the sides slightly.
If you wind up with 1/4 inch gaps between the boards you're using to make the top, you didn't do a very good job using the jointer/planer to get the boards square and true in the first place.
You don't want to have to clamp the wood so tight that you could wind up squeezing out too much of the glue you're using to hold things together. There is such a thing as too much pressure when gluing up.

You use a jointer to get one edge and one face flat and square. Then use the table saw to have the other edge parallel to the squared edge. Then run it through the planer.
If you have gaps after that, then something is not set up correctly or you’re doing something wrong.
