    Thanks Everyone.

  • what type of steel do you guys use? i want to built an english wheel and the engineering firm over the road from me just used cast iron wheels?

  • @sshhrroooomm

    I use 4140 Annealed. After I rough Machine it leaving about .01 (ten thousandths) on all Surfaces. This Wheel is 52-54 hrc.

    My Shop Information is

  • hi, may i ask you what kind of knive you use? do you use diamend knife? I'm machining whit same hardness steel, H13, HRC 50~52. But problem is it take too much time! The working piece is 300mm in dia, 300mm tall.

    What's your feed rate, speed and cut depth? I only cut 0.1mm, and speed 80m. i really need to ruduce the machining time.

    thanks.

  • Greetings Dioiao,

    The Tool is Ceramic, Diamonds are nice but they can fail very easily. The Wheel is turning at 600 SFM, and the feedrate is no more than .0035 ipr.

  • Nice cuts...I love hard turning like this. We use english wheels all the time, but I didn't know they were that hard.

  • Not all are Hardened, to my knowledge we are the only ones making them. We do wheels for most everyone.

see all

  • @Lengsel7 I'm ignorant of the process, but I was wondering the same thing. Could it have something to do with the affecting the hardness of the metal being machine? Frankly, I don't have a clue; but I'm amazed what a skilled metal workers can do with an English Wheeling Machine or any metal forming equipment.

  • Forgive my ignorance.What is an "english wheel"?

  • @jajackdaniels I was doing some lathe work and had a chip land on my eye lid and burn in...and yes i had my glasses on lol..

    they get very hot but cool just as quick

  • you do excellent work! how can I get one of these wheels from you? Do you make the other wheels that go with this one? thx

    plz let me know.

  • thanks,mate. you do me great favor! I'll try the speed rate tomorrow. we use meters. so 600 SFM, .0035ipr is about 180 meters and 0.9 feed rate. Hope the knife won't wear too fast.
