Why We Developed the Mini English Wheel - Small Package, Big Performance - Prototype to Product

English Wheels have historically been for large shops with huge budgets and tons of space, but Mark saw an opportunity to create something in a small package that packed a ton of performance!

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.
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
✅ Convenient vise-mount design allows for easy use and storage
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.
