Eastwood Elite Mini English Wheel

Product Overview:

Description

Fabricating compound curves in metal is easier than ever with Eastwood's Elite Mini English Wheel. Whether you're just getting started with an English wheel or simply need a space-saving unit for small projects, this wheel packs huge performance in a small package.

Simply a smaller version of the classic English wheel, this unit allows you to fabricate intricate patch panels that may be too small for a larger wheel or don’t require the expense of such a unit. Expand your metal forming skills and create patch panels correctly when you no longer have to try to accurately form a patch panel over your knee.

The Eastwood Elite Mini English Wheel Features:

  • 7.5 inch throat depth to form a 15 inch wide panel (up to 20 inches on angular plane)
  • Wheels and anvils rotate 90 degrees to provide unlimited throat depth in that direction for larger projects
  • Includes 3.19 inch upper wheel and four lower anvils (1/2", 1", 2", 3" radius)
  • Micro-adjustable anvil wheel
  • Form up to 18 gauge steel and 16 gauge aluminum
  • Wheels are made of #45 steel with a hardness rating of HRC18
  • Convenient vise-mount design allows for easy use and storage

Rigid Construction in a small package makes this perfect for a shop with limited space or for someone who wants to start forming metal, whether it's for auto panels or general fabrication. Even if you already own a large wheel, many hobbyists and professionals find the need for a small unit and the benefits it provides.

Your patch panels will weld much cleaner when truly formed by stretching rather than bending. When you begin welding that “bent” panel it will want to revert to its original flat shape, and you won't get the results you need. A panel formed in an English wheel that is truly stretched into shape will tend to retain the shape during welding, resulting in a far better fitting, easier welding and cleaner repair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! Well built and easy to use. I have already used it to reform a wheel well patch that I purchased. Worked like a charm! I am looking forward to using it to fabricate rocker panels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy use mini English wheel Having only owning this tool for a few weeks I can’t put a price on how valuable it is. I made two small to moderate size patch panels for my car it saved me hundreds of dollars. I had no previous experience with an English wheel but it didn’t take long to master simple panels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Elite mini English wheel The elite mini English wheel is really my first experience with an English wheel. That being said it seems to be very well built, and I have been very impressed with the results I’ve achieved with it. In addition I contribute my good results to the Eastwood YouTube videos I watch on using an English wheel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mini elite English wheel Bought this for my small shop to help fabricate a aluminum gas tank and seat for my little cafe racer. As well as some small patch panels on a 1972 Austin mini. Works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Is it worth the money? If you don’t have the money for a large English wheel, don’t have the space or simply don’t know if you need one, think again. Once you use this and learn the benefits of truly "stretching" metal to form the shapes you want it will take your fabrication skills to a new level. No longer bending panels over your knee only to find them warp and shrink as you weld them in. We developed this wheel for you, our customers that operate out of 2 car garages and small shops. Pick this up you will not be disappointed and will instead be taking on more challenging projects- it will make your work look like what’s in your head and eliminate the hassle of “bending” panels to shape. Try it for free with our 100% hassle free guarantee

Questions & Answers

Any update on a rubber band for the upper wheel?

Asked by: Ryan
We don't have plans for one currently, but what you can do is go to an arts and crafts store like Michael's. They usually have universal rubber bands and you can find one that's about that right size.
