KAKA Industrial F1.2x710 28-Inch Throat English Wheel, Easy Operation Sheet Metal Forming with 6 Pieces Forming Wheels - 173221

The 28-Inch english wheel is designed to allow craftsmen to form smooth curves from flat sheets of metal. They are mainly used in car, motorcycle, aviation and racing car construction or restoration where sheet metal panels need to have compound curves formed.

The operator passes the sheet metal between the anvil wheel and the rolling wheel.This process stretches the material and causes it to become thinner. As the material stretches, it forms a convex surface over the anvil wheel.This heavy duty steel fabricated machine has a large 140mm throat which allows a capacity of 1.2mm for mild steel

Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Wheel Regularly – Wipe down the frame and wheels after each use to remove metal shavings and debris that may cause wear or rust.
• Lubricate the Wheels and Bearings – Apply a small amount of machine oil to the wheel axles and bearings to ensure smooth movement and prevent friction.
• Inspect the Forming Wheels – Check for any wear or damage on the forming wheels and replace them if necessary to maintain consistent results.
• Tighten All Fasteners – Ensure all bolts, nuts, and screws are tightened securely to maintain proper alignment and prevent vibrations during use.
• Check for Wheel Alignment – Regularly inspect the alignment of the upper and lower wheels to ensure they are parallel for accurate forming.
