A couple of years ago I bought a metal spinning starter kit from Penn State Ind but they don't sell it anymore or any of the tools/disks. As a woodturner and lamp maker this would be an awesome product for Woodcraft to offer for us woodturners, it is a great skill/material to add to your skill set.

I'm metal spinning on a wood lathe, and the banjo keeps slipping -- it seems cinched down tight, but when I apply enough pressure to move the metal, the banjo slides instead. Any tips for getting around that?

[@WoodcraftSupply]

Any accumulated debris on the underside of the cam? Sometimes grime can accumulate on the cam and cause the banjo to slip. I have also heard of bent cams that cannot be tightened properly. Also check the threads on the mechanism, making sure they are clean, and may need to be readjusted.

[@careyholman]

@@WoodcraftSupply - I think it's tightening like it's supposed to for wood turning, but the extra pressure created by metal spinning is just too much. It's a brand-new lathe. I checked for gunk, etc. It seems rough under there. I'm going to try a rubber washer on the thing that grips the underside of the ways. Maybe that will fix it. We'll see.

metal spinning is a soft touch. You cant move it much to begin with.

@@janespensandvik3131 Do you press as hard as you can to begin with before you have seated an metal on the chuck?

What causes wrinkling?

[@WoodcraftSupply]

Surface tensioning while forming. This can be reduced by less pressure and add some talc powder.

[@robertroberts2795]

pushing to hard or over working the metal if it work hardens

Great show. Yes it's a dying art because Everything now is made out of plastic. Plastic is left over from the Oil Industry
