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 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.

Yep, that's how it should be done. But there are those that don't have that knowledge and think just running it through a table saw will suffice or running a hand plane along the edge will smooth the edge out enough for gluing. It not only needs to be flat and true, it also needs to not have any cups in the length of the board.
