GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MACHINE
The English wheel stretches metal
workpieces thinner and longer as
they are rolled between the upper
wheel and lower wheel.
Simultaneously, a track is pressed
into the metal, creating a convex
curve in the workpiece. By varying
the amount and pattern of the
tracks, a wide variety of contours
can be produced.
The English wheel can be used to
produce curves in mild steel up to
10ga. (3.416mm) and aluminum up
to .125” (3.175mm).
