But he writes that he doesn't want the junk machine. Buy a circular saw, preferably with a laser.

I thought about it, but I would like to know if the milling machine will mill the board / board instead of cutting it ?? Because if so, the milling machine will be much more functional and useful. I do not care about super fast cutting, but more about making it straight and not some zigzags.

Depends on what milling machine you have in mind, generally yes, because you use them to prepare the edge for veneering. But the effect of its work depends on the machine preceding it, if you trim it sloppy, even the best milling machine will not quickly remove unevenness.
You can cut two boards almost butt-to-edge with a good saw (with guidance).

And can it be milled as in the picture? The yellow wheel is the milling machine and the white line is the milling line. Is it impossible and you can only align the edge with the milling machine?

It can, but with a guide.

Professionals cut the boards with a circular saw with a guide and a circular saw from below. The point is that the saw tooth coming out of the kerf tears the cut edge out and it comes out frayed (although very straightforward). Therefore, a tiny saw initially cuts only the bottom surface to a small depth, and only then the actual saw cuts the rest (exactly along this track). Then we obtain a straight side with an edge quality sufficient, for example, for furniture veneering.

Hello.
You can and a milling machine, just count the costs. A good cutter costs around PLN 100.
After it is blunted, you will not sharpen it anymore, and neither will the cutting performance. For 600 PLN on Allegro you can buy a used, very good hand saw FESTOOL TS 55. With the guide rail you will get cuts like from a sizing saw. There is one rule here: the discs are sharpened in a professional workshop (cost about PLN 15, PLN 0.30 per tooth), where they will keep the angle and profile of the disc teeth.
You will say 600 zlotys. it's expensive for a saw. Maybe a lot, but not expensive. You will start cutting with it and you will know what you paid for.
