up, then tighten everything securely when the assembly is complete.
2. Assemble the front upright (16) to
the front legs (15), with the
backing plate (18), 85 mm bolts
(25), nuts (26) & washers (24).
3. Next connect the link beam (19) to
the front legs with two 130 mm
bolts (35), washer (24) and nuts

5. Bolt the anvil roller storage rack
(13) to the rear upright (17) using
two 65 mm bolts (28), washers (29)
and nuts (30).
6. With the help of an assistant, lift
the upper frame (1) into position

7. Lower the roller yoke assembly
into the mounting hole in the
frame.
8. Screw the locking knob (4) into
the threaded hole on the upper
frame (1). Lift and turn the support
tube (5) assembly so that the
locking knob (4) seats into the slot
in the support tube. Tighten the
knob.
9. Insert the eccentric shaft (7) with
its handle (6) into the hole in the
yoke (8).
11. Thread each handle lever (20)
into the adjusting rod (14) and
securely tighten.
12. Offer the adjusting rod (14) into
the under side of the frame (1)
and screw it into the support tube
already in position.
13. Take the upper roller (2) and
position it within the bracket of
the upper frame (1). Pass the axle
(3) through the assembly and
secure with two washers (22) and
nut (31).
• Note that a 24mm socket will be
required for the nut and a 17mm
open spanner for the end of the
axle.
16. Slide the spindle into each of the
anvil rollers and store the rollers
on the roller storage rack (13).
• Place them in order of size on the
rack. (Each roller has the size
stamped on it).

MOUNTING THE FRAME TO THE FLOOR
The foot of each leg has a bolt hole which allows the English Wheel to be
fixed to a suitably level floor.
With the help of at least one other person, move the assembled unit to the
chosen location where it will be mounted.
Measure the size of the mounting holes in the front leg and back stands, then
drill appropriate sized holes to accommodate the mounting bolts or screws
(fixings not supplied).

BEFORE STARTING WORK
CAUTION! METAL EDGES CAN BE VERY SHARP. AVOID INJURIES BY
WEARING APPROVED SAFETY GLOVES
Check that all component parts are secure and that the rollers turn freely.
Practice on some scrap metal before attempting work on the actual stock
workpiece. Using an English Wheel successfully requires a considerable
degree of acquired skill and experience.
The English Wheel can be used with rollers of various radii in order to suit the
task to be carried out. These various radii allow different curves to be formed
in the workpiece.
SELECTING THE LOWER ANVIL ROLLER
1. Select the appropriate lower anvil roller from the storage rack and place it
with its spindle on the roller yoke. When selecting the roller, consider the
type and hardness of the metal being formed as well as the desired
curvature of the metal.
• All the rollers have the same
diameter (75 mm) and the same
width (50.8 mm), but as can be
seen from the picture, the working
surface radii are different.
Note that these are always
expressed in imperial units.
• The flat roller is used for smoothing,
as against forming curved profiles.
• Smaller radius rollers produce a
tighter curve on the workpiece than
the larger radius rollers. It is also
common practice to change rollers
during operation in order to
achieve a specific profile.

OPERATION
1. Insert the sheet metal workpiece
between the upper and lower anvil
rollers.
2. With the eccentric shaft handle in
the horizontal (slack) position, turn
the adjusting rod to raise the anvil
roller yoke and gently pinch the
workpiece.
Minor adjustments to the gap
between the rollers can be made
by moving the eccentric shaft up or
down.
• Pinching it tightly will make it harder
to pass the metal through the rollers
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 working, turn the locking knob clockwise until tight.
4. Begin forming the metal by pushing and pulling it through the rollers.
5. If minor adjustments are required between the rollers, loosen the handle.
This causes the eccentric shaft to slightly raise or lower the anvil roller.

MAINTENANCE
Always inspect the wheel and anvil rollers before use and ensure they are in
top condition. Check that all moving parts do so 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 contact your CLARKE International Service
Department on 020-8988-7400.
