The English Wheel, also known as a wheeling machine in Britain, is typically a manually operated metalworking apparatus, that allows a craftsman to form smooth, compound curves from flat sheets of metal, such as aluminum or mild steel. It is used in coachbuilding, car restoration, Hotrodding, racing car construction - (especially, NASCAR spaceframe chassis racing cars that have to have sheet metal panels made to resemble mass production vehicles), prototype car production, low volume sports car production (AC Cobra for example), and aviation amongst other uses. When used on thicker sheet metals such as boat or ship hulls the machine may be powered and be much larger than the one described here.

The process of using an English wheel is known as wheeling.
