For sale: Large English Wheel

English Wheel - built for custom construction of a 50ft aluminium yacht.

Top roller is powered by a 1 hp motor with worm-drive reduction via an inverter (running off 240v single-phase), with pendant forward-stop-reverse switch on 10m lead. Inverter can be adjusted to vary roller speed from very fast walking pace to a very very slow crawl for fine detailed work near plate edges.

Throat depth of over 1.1 metres. (Was built for our largest hull plate 6.1m x 2.2m)

Stands approx 2m high and weighs about 400kg. Very solid construction out of double (side-by-side) 300mm steel I-beam and bracing to increase torsional stiffness.

Top roller is 220mm diameter and 120mm wide. There are 3 different interchangable bottom wheels (100, 200, 300mm form radius).

Has rolled 5083 aluminium plates to 8mm thick without a problem.

Will also provide a free instructional DVD (by Covell) on wheeling techniques.

Location: Canberra, Australia.

Price: $2000.00 Australian dollars.
