GREETINGS FELLOW METAL FABRICATORS!
We are joined here in metal matrimony....hahaa I'mRyan, I've registered here to learn more about english wheels, the functionality behind the design of the adjustment mechanisms as well as proper technique and usage. My plan is to CAD design a large floor standing frame of which will not only be used as an english wheel, but also have interchangeable parts for a planishing hammer attachment, and a hydraulic ram attachment set-up for a louver press and driving my dimple dies etc. At this time I am currently leaning towards a similar design to (or maybe just purchasing) a HoosierProfiles english wheel kit for the C-frame that I am going to build. If anyone out there has any pics of what they've got or built, I'd surely welcome that.  Ryan

Search is your friend, plenty of wheels here of all sizes and budgets. Here's just one thread: http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=4619 More in the Wheeling Machines section: http://allmetalshaping.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29 As far as combination machines, my thoughts are the trade-off will be lots of time lost swapping back and forth, especially if you will be connecting/disconnecting hydraulics. I do seem to remember combo machines discussed here, I searched and couldn't find it, however, here's a discussion on them from another forum: http://www.metalmeet.com/forum/showt...bination+wheel
