Sheet metal tool name?

I need some help Identifing a tool used to fabricate sheet metal. It is on a stand and has 2 steel wheels. The metal you are working on is placed between the wheels and worked back and forth. I have seen it on American Chopper, Monster Garage, and American Hotrod. Does anyone know the name of this tool? It's looks real handy for fabricating.

I have also seen them use bead rollers which is a little different. It is used to put a ridge in metal for strength like fenders.

I saw one advertised recently with different wheels for about $2300.00 new. I don't think it was as big as you see on tv. Watch your fingers on it.

Check the Website for the Eastwood Company and look under the Metal Shop catagory. I think that's what you are looking for.

English Wheel

Wrecker... Northern Tools sells a English Wheel with a 22" throat for $599.00 .It will reach center of a 44" sheet. It is made to be bench mounted or they sell a stand for an additional $179.00. I hope this works for you. They also sell a larger one for $2800.00 . My money is on the smaller one. Good luck. Their phone # is 1-952-894-0083
