They are selling chinese wheels now ,look a little flimsy but I guess they are allright for hobby use,
you have to put in a lot of time before you get the hang of it, I have had mine for years and I m still just a beginner



Yeah I've used them on a couple of different parts
and your right... the chinese stuff looks like it
would bend/bow if you used it... I wont even think
of one of those




Fabbed a.065 wall 3" stainless tube for the lower rad tube on my big truck last week. Tried to roll a bead in the tube ends with one of General Tso's finest rollers and it just deflected and spit the tube out without putting a mark in it.

It s my own design but there is a lot of pics out there on sites like metalmeet.com and others.
you just need a very stiff frame and the only really hard part to make is the lover adjustable post...

I tried to google english wheel pictures...things have sure changed since I searched for ideas 10 years ago with a dial up modem

I looked at a english wheel some years back at a auction
with a bunch of wheels with it... it was OLD but in
real nice shape but at the time I didnt have the room
for it... still kicking myself over that one

Your's is much more "finished" than mine.. But as long as I get repeatable results I'm happy.. I've got piston stops both for head on & head off, all sorts of press adapters, jigs for fabrication... Some pretty nice stuff here guys! And an interesting thread..
