WORKBENCH MOUNTING
• The forces exerted on the English Wheel during operation are
substantial. The English Wheel must be firmly secured to a
workbench or table that will support the weight and dynamic
pressures of the operation.
• Make sure that you have a suitable workbench setup for the English
Wheel before performing the assembly.

ASSEMBLY
1. Before you start assembling your English Wheel, you will require the
following tools:
• 2 x 17mm spanners or adjustable wrenches
• 3/16 hex key
• a pair of circlip pliers
2. Attach the 4 mounting
brackets to the frame with
the M10-1.5 x 80 hex bolts,
10mm flat washers and M10-
1.5 locking nuts supplied.
3. Mount the frame to a
workbench using the
mounting brackets, making
sure there is clearance for
the adjustment handle.
• If you are not ready to
permanently mount the
frame to a workbench,
you can temporarily
secure the frame to the
workbench with ‘G’
clamps, as shown.

REPLACING THE LOWER WHEEL
This English Wheel comes with 5 (3”, 4”, 5”, 6” & 8” radius) crowned anvils
(lower wheels) that will accommodate most curving operations.
TO REPLACE A LOWER WHEEL
1. Loosen the locking jam nut
and lower the anvil bracket
to its lowest position using the
handle.
2. Remove the anvil and
replace it with the required
one.
3. Using the handle raise the
anvil bracket to the
operating position and lock
the nut in position.
OPERATION
WARNING: METAL EDGES CAN BE VERY SHARP. AVOID INJURIES BY
WEARING APPROVED SAFETY GLOVES.
1. Insert the sheet metal workpiece between the upper and lower wheels.
2. Turn the lower wheel adjustment handle to raise the lower wheel and
gently pinch the workpiece.
• Minor adjustments to the gap between the wheels can be made by
raising or lowering the adjustment handle.
• Pinching it tightly will make it harder to pass the metal through the
wheels and may cause unwanted creasing.
• Pinching it loosely makes work easier and therefore more accurate.
However, it may take more passes to form the required shape.
3. Before starting to work the metal, turn the locking jam nut clockwise until
tight to lock the lower wheel in position.
4. Begin forming the metal by pushing and pulling it through the wheels.
NOTE: If wheels form too high a crown in the workpiece, then use a
lower wheel with a larger flat area.

Page 9
NOTE: If wheels form too low a crown in the workpiece, use a lower
wheel with a smaller surface area.
MAINTENANCE
Always inspect the wheels before use and ensure they are in top condition.
Check that all moving parts move smoothly and freely.
After use, keep the rollers clean and occasionally lubricate moving parts with
a light oil. This will also inhibit any corrosion of the metal components.
For any technical problems or replacement wheels contact the CLARKE
Service Department on 020-8988-7400 or [email protected].
