Metal Spinning - Axel Fan Baseplate Spinning

Metal Spinning Axel Fan Spinning by Hand

[@chrisyboy666]

That's what you call a tradesman a feel ashamed that iam a cnc programmer and I call my self a machinist

[@nikmiller7625]

This isn't machining Its metal spinning. He is shaping sheet metal. notice there are no chips. I am a cnc and manual grinder. His tolerance it probably ±.5". It looks harder than it is. And yes i have done this before.

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

nik Miller Tolerance on drawing is less than 0.9mm

[@bbcisrubbish]

It is a real treat to see skilled craftsmen at work on youtube. A million times better than ALL of the childish rubbish on TV.

[@codyhaviland9650]

As a spinner for five years, at least wear safety glasses.

[@ioanniszorgianos5299]

I had never seen before how they are made. Thank you for the upload.

[@therealzilch]

I bet this is not the first time this guy has done this.

[@scubapro54]

You sir are a master of your trade.

[@larrylewislarry]

beautiful to watch. metal spinning is an art form

[@pepebenaventeleyenda8855]

craftsmanship, a pleasure to watch, thanks for uploading.

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

Thank you for your kind comments :)

[@Mehulbudh]

Metspin Ltd - Metal Spinners Wow . I am Mehul kansara from India I am also a spinner

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

Mehul Buddhbhatti Greetings Mehul, :)

[@badlandskid]

***** I also enjoy watching a craftsman ply his trade.

[@cuv4xd]

Awesome art form.

[@delineotechnologies6926]

Amazing dude!

[@MikalinaJ]

Great artist; great job - How long did it take to master that?

[@nathanaelgreenaway]

Very nice work... pity so many children are here commenting... at least a few engineers/designers can appreciate it though, thanks for the upload.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

he's not turning, but spinning....a huge difference. spinning of thin metals is almost always done by hand except in production and even then, there are mass produced products spun by hand. You could do this on a lathe but it would still have to be done by hand. he's not taking metal away but reforming it.

[@hotlude91]

thats real talent !!

[@iwannadothat1]

I agree with you that complacency will get you into trouble. I think 5000 RPM is a little much though...maybe 450-500 tops on that piece. Either RPM if that comes off in motion safety glasses won't help. These pieces are spun onto a form and locked in so it is pretty safe...as long as you don't get complacent.

[@iwannadothat1]

what? do you really think that guy does not know what he is doing? I'v trained under and worked with some of the industries best. In 24yrs I have seen some incredible things.The job that guy is doing is not undertaken by an apprentice....years of experience. But thanks for commenting on my comment, please re-read and think about what I said. This was an excellent video to display that mans skill.

[@samba2782]

Awesome to watch but is there any reason for not having safety glasses?

[@dcaonoek]

+Sam BA He's not cutting anything what could hit him in the eye?

[@AffordBindEquipment]

depends on the quantity. many mass produced products are still spun by hand, especially if they are of thin metal. street light reflectors is one example. this piece may be one of a kind so a man is better and faster than machine. cnc metal spinning to me would be very expensive for one up spinning.

[@srirajurajupresstronics4815]

Good job

[@johayn]

brilliant, and probably another art-form on it's way out, but one would think that forming something like this with a press might be more practical? Or are we talking one-off designs, in which case this makes more sense. Still would love to learn to do this.

[@metspinltd6603]

Thank you for you kind comments, this is a small batch job for us (Max of 100), metal spinning has a couple of advantages over pressing, one of which is to maintain a uniform wall thickness of material over the entire component where as a press may drag and thin some areas, HTH :)

[@robertgrant7643]

Amazing work... puzzling why he sometimes uses one cylinder to hold against and most of the times both.

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

Thank you for your comments, the only reason that 2 pegs are used instead of 1 is for extra grip by the spinners hand :)

[@thePavuk]

He made you a fan.

[@aminosba]

How about spinning outer diameter such as fan blowers.

[@lutzumzazzarax1969]

That loose long sleeve jacket looks safe to wear near that thing.

[@random5147]

Can im ask what lathe that is you use (brand and model) im looking to buy one just like that without the tailstock and with a large swing but aren't quite sure what they are called.

[@MattacksRC]

what is the finished part used for?

[@VirtRampage]

@MikkoMuhis thats pretty much the first thing they thought us when using a drilling machine or a lathe

[@CactassDupree]

Lose clothing and such, can u imagine if that coat got caught up in that spinning thing. Come to think of it, it does look like a clothes dryer. I'd be wearen spandex! VERY NICE JOB

[@happyisthealero]

wouldn't mind seeing the machine you used to spin the metal

[@metalmullisha990]

we are a metal spinning shop in portland oregon. The customer pays for all costs of tooling, after we quote the price of the job. whether we make 4 parts or 400, its the customers decision. we have to decide if making tooling for just 4 parts is worth our time aswell.

[@thechetjr]

How is the form created for this hand process and how is the material held in place for working?

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

Material is clamped in place with a face plate and the aluminium is literally pushed with a hand tool to form the shape, HTH

[@jon0n0n]

@ThePress1000 Can I suggest you look at the website of the video's owner? Hand metal spinning is not a process well suited to mass production, but it is a process extremely well suited to limited runs, even one off items. In such circumstances the cost of labour obviously has to be considered against the tooling cost of alternative production methods.

[@monstertke]

I had about 50 visions of how you could lose an eye doing this without safety glasses.

[@klantarN]

ANYBODY KNOWS what this is for? is it a machine or ?...

[@jkkshjr]

OSHA nightmare, but he got the job done.

[@cbuttenob]

so many machine shop videos and so little eye protection!

[@rank899]

he doesnt need glasses, no splinters or little fragments. if that thing comes of glasses wont do him any good.

[@crazybob1954mo]

How is it that during spinning the panel shape is 'convex'? Yet the finished product you show is perfectly Flat?

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

+Bob Duvall Item spun from a flat sheet of alloy, although the spinning process does incur some stress that shows itself in a very slight concave from the front.

[@Samsgarden]

Don't worry, I watched the end, he wasn't cutting.

[@ThinJizzy]

@jklsd good, i wasn't the only one to notice that xD

[@unimogman404]

They are in fact, located in Hampshire, UK !

[@munawarpasha196]

.

[@ferredable]

i think there is no need for safety glasses for "forming"

[@brssgirl]

he is spinning an AXIAL fan base..not an axel fan. axial meaning the flow is through the centre.

[@wontputrealname]

It's the UK, southern England.

[@Samsgarden]

Where's the chips?

[@unimogman404]

The phone numbers are from Europe , they are located in Hampshire, UK : Go see : metalspin on google.

[@random5147]

I'm looking for a lathe of this size but can't find one anywhere can in ask what brand and model your lathe is

[@MetspinMetalSpinners]

+ran dom This machine is made by Jameson and the machines are like hen's teeth to find as they are not made any more.

[@random5147]

Thank you. What type of lathe is it without tailstock?

[@465maltbie]

+ran dom If it has no tailstock and was made for cutting metal it would be called a tee or "T" lathe. As this is for spinning, I dont know if they use the same terminology.

[@reginaldomartins4155]

Pensei que estava confeccionando um mini OVNI

[@debug_duck]

you dont need glasses because there are no chips flying away.

[@RDJim]

why can't this be done in a single motion with a press of some sort?

[@nexizen]

You wouldn't do this with a press. The amount of force necessary would be astronomical. I could see this being done with a mold and molten metal, but I assume there is some strength gained from this particular method.

[@RDJim]

Andrew Smith Not sure I agree Andrew. I've seen some pretty big forge presses in operation and they squish 6 inch diameter titanium bar stock with ease. This stuff is think sheet metal it would appear. A simple extrusion press should do it.... but then again, I'm no machinist.

[@omaxx12]

the glasses are to keep metal shavings out of his eyes....

[@jon0n0n]

@ThePress1000 And if the customer doesn't need twenty or thirty, who's going to swallow the tooling costs?

[@jon0n0n]

@ThePress1000 I have no idea what you mean by that.

[@happyisthealero]

@Davaith thought the same thing

[@RubSomefastOnIt]

nowhere he is just bending the lip around, think of molding pottery on a wheel

[@brssgirl]

its only dangerous to people who have no experience working with machines

[@CactassDupree]

Lose clothing and such, can u imagine if that coat got caught up in that spinning thing. Come to think of it, it does look like a clothes dryer. I'd be wearen spandex!

[@kkuhn]

legit thought it was "meatspin" instead of "metspin" BTW don't look that up

[@workshop_from_nothing]

all you do gooders are makeing work places un safe not safer..

[@KennethMelis]

turning metal by hand: VERY BAD IDEA. a good lathe with a big turning Ø would do the job much more easyer

[@ProphetFornicator]

work - shit. i hate work on the factory!
