Building an English Wheel
I've been looking into kits and the one from Stakesy's seems to have everything I'd need.
https://www.stakesys.co.uk/english-w...r-kit-full-set I'd be using a couple of lengths of I beam for the frame. However looking on the bailiegh website I found this https://www.baileighindustrial.co.uk/ew-15-uk Made in China but good enough to carry the Baileigh name. Does anyone have any experience of the stakesy kit or the Baileigh machine?

Longyard posted on here about the same wheel as the Bailey and is sold as a Grizzley. Search under English Wheel and Longyard.
He posted about how to modify and tune these up. I have one of these same wheels that was sold by Harbor Freight and these are real small.

Paul, couple comments:
1 - The Stakley adjuster may be ok but I don't care for their frame design. Mounting the upper wheel on a stub axle on the end of the top frame means the stub axle is the weak link in the frame as far as deflection goes. A much better option is to put the upper wheel UNDER the top frame via a yoke. This transfers the load to the frame. 2- Ibeams are not good material for ewheel frames. The reason for this is that they have much less twist resistance than rectangular tubing. This means that under heavy pressure, the upper and lowers do not stay in vertical alignment. In severe cases, the upper wheel can 'flip flop' over the lower. This causes all kinds of issues in your panels. Check out the ewheel building seminars. If you're going to invest the time, trouble, and expense of building an ewheel. You might as well build a good one. A bad ewheel is hard to use, hard to master, and produces work slowly.

I see what you mean about the top wheel. That does seem like an odd choice. As for the I beams I was thinking of boxing the finished frame with 2mm sheet (14 gauge)

With the wrong wheel you will only do the wrong job or you will not want to use it. If you want to try what it does, get 2 bearings. Attach one screw on top and make a radius on the other.
of course use a fork that will push the lower radial bearing. It doesn't have to be complicated. You will immediately see what you need. That bad wheel is for anger. 2mm is low. DSC00029.jpg DSC00030.jpg DSC00035.jpg DSC00045.jpg
