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 Little wonder. I think this is a gateway drug to using an English wheel. I can see an upgrade to a full size wheel at some point, but this gets you on an understanding how to use a wheel to shape sheet metal. Works great on small pieces. I mounted mine in a drill press clamp that is bolted to my table. Very sturdy set up. It doesn’t come with any mount for the dies but this was an easy fix with a little flat bar and ¼ inch round bar I had on hand. Just hung this off the back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First English Wheel I bought this 8 months ago. I didn't review it at the time because I had never used an English wheel before so I couldn't really say if it was good or bad, but after using it to make many patch panels for my vintage truck I can honestly say this little thing is awesome. I don't have space for a big Egnlish wheel so this one is perfect because I can keep it under the workbench when not in use.

Are there bearings in the wheels? Or just a greased pin?

Asked by: Radiohound
The wheels on the Eastwood Elite Mini English Wheel do not have bearings. Instead, they operate on a greased pin. The assembly instructions specify applying a good quality, medium-bodied chassis grease to the axles for smooth operation

10 months ago you mentioned developing a rubber band for the mini. Has this been developed yet? my current needs require a band,

Asked by: donny b
I just tried a #94 heavy duty rubber band and it works. These are 3/4" wide rubber bands and shrink to about 5/8" wide when stretched over the anvil, so they aren't full width (1") covering the wheel. I will try to attach a picture showing the results of about 40 pulls through the Mini English Wheel on 20 gauge mild steel with a 3" lower wheel. I don't know how durable these rubber bands will be or how long they will last in this application, but I purchased a bag of 35 for about $10 so this is actually an inexpensive solution.

Are there any recommendations for mounting the Mini English Wheel directly to a workbench? Or, is it designed to only be used mounted in a vise?

Asked by: Dan J
Not to say it can not be done, but this item IS designed to be mounted in at least a 4" vise, a 6" or larger is strongly recommended.

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.
