Thread: HF English Wheel

Tweet

I am getting mixed reviews.It's the reason why I posted here for the brain trust I trust.

I have had my 110 gas shielded mig for yrs and it does do ok on sheet metal,but nothing like the L-Tec 220 I had long term use of to back haft a Monza.The 110 I don't trust for the heavier stuff.

I just can't afford one of Kerry's E/Wheels.But as I do research and reading about E/Wheels as I have time,some are saying it is the HF wheels that are bad,so early on I thought if I could brace the frame and buy better wheels I might be able to get a machine that wouldn't be the best but workable.

The Comstocks are about two and ahaft hrs away from me.To attend of of they meets certainly would help in learning more about metal working in general and to get to use a E/wheel.I have to check to see when they are holding the next one.

you lost me gary ? your going to buy a HF wheel . but the frame is weak so your going to add to it ? the wheels are no good . so your thinking of buying better ones? to use on a cheap frame to put better wheels on ? sounds like you should start with a clean sheet of paper and build one . wheels they sell on e bay ?? i can form a small part with a hammer and doly have you cut you teeth on any hammer and doly work ? you may not want a wheel ?
