Custom Machined Anvils and Upper Wheel and Yokes. Custom Machined By Joe Andrews Hoosier Pattern Inc. If you’re going to do it, Do It Right! No other English Wheel Manufacturer guarantees a minimum runout like we do! You may wonder if run out critical? The answers can be found on If you don't want to go there I'll tell you. Run out is very crucial to how your machine functions. If you have a weak machine that "flexes" then run out may not be so bad, but the flex is very bad because it causes your wheels to lose alignment. On a rigid Machine(best case scenario) run out can only be compensated by extreme pressure on your machine. Extreme pressure is no good for many reasons...It causes you to overstretch your panels which causes distortion, and it's very hard on the mechanical components such as lead screws, cradles, welds, and so on. With a well built rigid Machine it's amazing just how little pressure it takes to start shaping your panels. After you have made your panel you will want to do a "Wash Out". A Washout will save you so much work! This is done by using the largest possible contact keeping in mind the radius or "form" on your panel. Gently bring the Upper and Lower Wheels to where they just touch your panels surface, then simply work the panel back and forth through your Machines Wheels. This Process will blend your high and low spots making for an Extremely beautiful panel when completed. I was looking around and found that many Manufacturers of Anvils not only don't guarantee their run out, they also don't list what their Wheels are made from! COMPARE OUR PRICES TO Metal Ace's here at this link -> http://www.englishwheels.net/products/products.html 3" Anvil Wheel and Yoke Set for 44F 2.375 R, 3.25 R, 5.00 R, 8.50 R, 12.00 R and flat.

Our Upper Wheel is much more Expensive than theirs, but the differences are like night and Day. Here is their price, but what diameter is it? Upper Wheel with Axle, Spanner..................$185.00 Our Upper Wheel is $209.00 which is $24.00 more, but here's the differences: Ours is Precision Machined Prehard 4140 at 31Hrc.! Our Upper Wheels have the faces relieved, theirs has a little step and weighs about 35lbs more! If you don't kill yourself from making so many passes on the lower Anvils because of full radius's you will from the weight of the Upper Wheel. This Upper is not like the other guys cheap Prehard Wheels, this Upper is made righteously! This Upper will outlast your Machine and your Grandchildren as well with Proper Care. This is a Prehard Upper, it's not as Hard as Our High End Uppers but it can do Everything they Can. The Only recommendation I have is that extra care is taken before Wheeling Welds Down. This means that Welds need to be removed with Grinders or Sanding Disk. You Should Always Prep Your welds before Wheeling over them no Matter what, Our High end Anvils could care less, they are so Hard they Crush Welds without Damage to the Upper Wheel itself. I don't recommend this because when you do it your Actually placing More material into the Panel your making. Putting extra Material in(welds) means your Panel now has a Different Shape. Always remove excess Material. Specifications on These Wheels.... 4140 Prehard Alloy Tool Steel 30-32 Rockwell, CNC Machined and a Flat with 1/4" edge breaks Every Corner is Radiused on our Anvils and Upper Wheels, NO SHARP EDGES HERE otherwise you invite lines to your panels! Every Anvil has been polished and the contacts have beautiful transitional radius's to create perfect panels free off pinch lines that come from Wheeling! This is Our Standard Upper Yoke. It comes with a ¾" Axle, 2 Washers, Attaching Bolt, and a Nut. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ALIGN YOUR WHEELS ON AN ENGLISH WHEEL WHEN USING LOWER ANVILS WITH CONTACTS. THIS IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR MACHINE EXCEPT FOR 2 THINGS, A FRAME AND ADJUSTER.
