Another newb
Hi all,
Just joined as I'm interested in english wheel to straighten and flatten metal and also looking at shrinking and stretching. Currently working on a project with .060 alum. and need to do some gas welding to join panels and wheeling to straighten and flatten panels that have bends in them. Thanks, Curtis

Curtis, welcome to the site and thanks for the introduction. The English wheel is a stretching machine for puting shape in a panel. You can do some straightening in an ewheel but if you use any pressure it will stretch the metal. Post some pictures of what you are working on and ask questions if you have any. Thanks for joining us.
