Save on Time and Money by Choosing the New English Wheel

Rolling, beading, and forming sheet metal are three important techniques that are used in sheet metal fabrication. These three techniques are similar to each other but require different types of components. Purchasing three different types of machines to perform each technique can be expensive and time consuming for any fabrication shop owner. So what if you heard about a machine that combines all three techniques? No doubt that you are interested. That machine is the all inclusive English Wheel.

English wheels, also known as wheeling machines, are designed to help fabricators form various types of curvatures and bends in flat pieces of sheet metal. With new advances in equipment manufacturing, it has become possible to design an English Wheel that is capable of forming, beading, as well as rolling sheet metal. Let us understand more about the product.

Features of the English Wheel
The new generation of English wheel consists of a large metal stand with a rectangular frame. The frame is in the shape of a large ‘C’, which consists of a large rolling wheel and a smaller anvil wheel. A foot adjustment handle at the bottom of the anvil wheel allows for easy height adjustment. The product includes 4 top wheels and 10 anvil wheels.

What makes this English wheel unique is its specifications. The throat depth is an enormous 43″ while the height is 63½ ″. The size of the rolling wheel is 6″x3″, and both wheels can be adjusted up to 90o. The various wheel options allow fabricators to roll, bead, and form different types of metal. Thus, the English wheel becomes a one stop machine for sheet metal fabrication.
