An extra-heavy duty post makes this hefty tool perform exceptionally well as a hand-held dolly. At the same time, it multi-functions like a traditional T-dolly.
The Handy T is especially helpful when working with a large piece of metal that requires a curved edge. It's also perfect when working in tight or confined spaces. We've found the Handy T invaluable in our shop for hood scoop projects and any time 're-forming' is needed (for example, around weld areas.)

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!

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.
INCLUDES:
(6) 3 inch wide anvil wheels: Flat, 2.5, 3.75, 6.0, 12.0, and 24.0 inch radii
(1) 8 x 3 inch upper wheel
Warranty: 1 year manufacturer's warranty

The MetalAce 44F U-weld English Wheel Kit
This kit provides all the components necessary to build the popular 44F, a go-anywhere wheeling machine to meet all your metal shaping needs. Use the supplied blueprints to build a replica of our frame, or add your own creativity and customize your frame and use our high quality wheels and components.
The included screw lift assembly has a quick-release cam mechanism that lowers the anvil yoke with a 90 degree rotation of the handle. This makes it easy to get the material out and return back to the original pressure setting, plus the anvils can be changed quickly in this fashion. The anvil yoke has precision adjustments on both sides of the axle support to true the anvil with the top wheel. (Material for the frame is not included.)
Check out the wheel designed by Jeff Fournier and built by one of our workshop students using this kit!
INCLUDES:
(6) 3 inch wide anvil wheels: Flat, 2.5, 3.75, 6.0, 12.0, and 24.0 inch radii
