Using a Table Foiler

by Yvonne
(Belton, Tx)

I purchased a table foiler recently. I know people that use this brand and really like it. I peeled the label of so I don't have the exact name but is made by MKC, if that helps. I am having trouble getting the foil to stay in the right position. The spring seems to work correctly that is under the wheel where the foil feeds through.I've tried several things. I put a lug nut to keep the wheel centered w/ the foil. For some reason that did not fix the problem. I also have a wing nut that comes with it to put on top of the wheel( the wheel lays on its side) to adjust it. The wheels come in different widths to match the foil sizes thus the adjustable wing nut and spring underneath. I have spent hours figuring out why it won't line up w/ my foil. I checked the size of the wheel, had my husband tinker with it, erything I can think of. It's probably a simple fix that I am missing? Any advice? Thanks, Yvonne

Answer

I believe the Table Foiler is made by KWC. I have one but have never used it...a gift that got put on a shelf. When I foil, I like doing it by hand. I haven't tried a foiler since the early days when they looked more like torture machines than an aid to foiling. However, I'm sure someone reading this will be able to help you. I know that the table foiler is popular and many people have them and use them, so Please Table Foiler Owners, if you can, help Yvonne solve her problem. Thanks!

I have just started with stained glass and I just knew that I found the perfect foiler when I purchased my Table Foiler. Not so, I am having the same problems, the spool of foil becomes unraveled, the wing nut doesn't seem to do much in the way of adjusting the position of the foil and the seam ends up uneven. I too, am searching the Web to find someone who can answer my problems. Good luck, because so far, hand foiling is the only way I can achieve an even application of foil.

Table Foiler Problems

I have had the exact same problems and have been searching the internet for some hints to the success with the table foiler but yet to find any. I have done all my foiling by hand but searching for a new foiler.
