Default and something else now.....( 'splain to me about 'band saws')


right now, i have another question...what do you think about a 'table
foiler'...??

is that worth the expense?


Many that learned to foil without the assistance of any foiling device
will insist they can foil just fine without one and can do it by hand
as fast as with a foiler. That's true only if they've never spent the
time mastering the use of one. There are several different types of
foilers (upright and flat). All take a few hours practice to get the
feel of how they should be used. Yes, you can foil by hand - but you
can foil faster and more accurately with a foiler.However, that applies
only if you're willing to spend some time learning to use one.

We run a commercial production glass shop and consider foilers to be
hugely advantageous and figure they save so much time they pay for
themself in labour savings in just a few days. For stained glass work,
saws SNUP, but foilers are a great investment.
