The Chopper Compendium

I figured we aught to have a thread just for these - I didn't see one so I started one. Probably good to lump Full sized E wheels and bench-top styles together here.

Go.

I stopped by Awful Freight the other day to take some measurements of their E-wheel for reference in building my own bench top version and what I saw raises some questions.

The lower anvil post and mechanism seems to have a lot of play until pressure is applied, and then the anvil walks. Is this acceptable in practice? I'm gonna try to post a video (Ohhhh look out) which shows what I mean. And perhaps after I'll post links to some of the well known DIY E-wheel sites and videos I'm relying upon.

I have always liked this one.

Probably not acceptable, IMO.

Here is a picture of my English Wheel. The wheels are from HF.
