Are you looking for a workhorse wheeling machine? We’re pleased to introduce the MetalAce 44F Classic Series English wheel! Mounted on 3” casters, the sturdy welded frame offers extreme durability and proven stiffness for race car fabrication, auto restoration and aircraft rebuilding. This is the same machine seen in top NASCAR and hot rod shops around the country and is recommended by renowned metal shaper Ron Covell.

This unique design from MetalAce is a great mid-sized wheel. It is well suited for heavy forming, and yet sized to fit perfectly in small shops. The 3-leg design includes rubber feet for a steady grip on all floors, while the retractable handle and tip-back casters allow easy mobility. A great on-the-go metal forming machine; perfect for racing needs, coachbuilding, hot-rod building, vintage aircraft restoration, and sculpture work. The sturdy jack mechanism offers a quick-release anvil yoke and precision alignment adjusters. The easy to use alignment adjusters make quick work of truing the anvil to the top wheel, as well as offsetting the lower anvil for reverse curve and edging operations.
The MetalAce 30F Classic Series English Wheel is made in the USA with pride, using heavy wall tubular construction. The machine is powder-coated for a professional, durable finish.

Ron brings his signature easy-to-follow style using the English wheel, a machine notoriously difficult for beginners to figure out.
Demonstrations are given on a broad range of machines from a cast iron 'monster' to a tiny C-clamp.
This comprehensive film includes the machine's history as well as a clear explanation of principles that enable the machine to move metal. Ron shows basic tracking patterns that are used to shape panels of various sizes and configurations.
In addition to common wheeling techniques, Ron also shows some less well-know processes, such as using a rubber top wheel and embossing with the machine.
Whether you are brand new to the English wheel or an experienced user you will find lots valuable information!
