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.
