Baileigh EW-40 - 40 inch English Wheel
The Baileigh EW-40 is a professional-grade English wheel designed for precise sheet metal shaping and forming, featuring an industry-leading 37-3/4" throat depth and heavy duty construction that handles up to 16-gauge mild steel with exceptional rigidity and control.
Looking to take your metal fabrication to the next level? The Baileigh EW-40 English wheel is the tool that serious fabricators trust when they need to create smooth, flowing curves in sheet metal. Whether you're restoring a vintage car, building custom motorcycle panels, or crafting aircraft components, this machine gives you the control and precision you need.
What sets the EW-40 apart from other English wheels? It's all about rigidity and versatility. Built with a fully welded 5" x 5" x .250" box tubing frame, this machine stays rock solid even when you're working at full capacity. That means smoother results and less frustration for you. The generous 37-3/4" throat depth means you can handle even large, curved panels that would be impossible on smaller machines.
Here's what makes this machine truly complete: it arrives ready to work with everything you need. You'll get 9 hardened bottom anvils in various radiuses, 3 upper wheels, and specialized tooling for rolling beads and creating different shapes. Whether you're smoothing compound curves, forming gentle sweeps, or rolling decorative beads, you've got the right tool for the job. Plus, the swivel head design lets you work from multiple angles. Push material straight into the throat or rotate 90 degrees for different access points. It's the kind of flexibility that makes complex projects manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need power to operate the EW40?
No, the EW-40 is completely manual. This actually gives you more control and makes it more portable - you can use it anywhere in your shop without worrying about electrical requirements.
What's the difference between this and smaller English wheels?
The 37-3/4" throat depth is the game-changer. Many entry-level wheels have 18-28" throats, which limits the size of panels you can work on. The EW-40's extended throat lets you reach deep into large curved panels like car hoods and fenders. Plus, the heavier frame construction (5" x 5" tubing) provides much better rigidity for consistent results.
How much assembly is required?
The EW-40 arrives mostly assembled. The frame is fully welded at the factory. You'll just need to perform minor setup - attaching accessories and selecting your initial anvil. No welding required on your end.
Can I add more anvils later?
Yes! While the EW-40 comes with a comprehensive 9-anvil set that covers most applications, Baileigh offers additional specialty anvils if you need specific radiuses for specialized work.
What materials can I form with this wheel?
The EW-40 handles 16-gauge mild steel and 14-gauge aluminum easily. You can also work with stainless steel (though it requires more effort), copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals. Softer materials and thinner gauges are even easier to form.
Is the lifetime technical support really unlimited?
Yes! Baileigh backs the EW-40 with lifetime phone support from technicians who have hands-on machine experience. Whether you need help with technique, maintenance, or troubleshooting, they're just a phone call away - not just during the warranty period, but for as long as you own the machine.
