I'm glad I found this, takes me back to when I taught myself how to spin stainless for various sizes of spun end covers for Hardy Bros Zane Grey Big Game reels. Its that characteristic sort of 'plastic flow' that is unmistakable when all is going well. The man that might have been able to teach me had died previously in the Summerland disaster circa mid 1970's and his tools at another factory on the industrial estate gathered dust. Hence having to work it out myself. Thanks for showing us all.

[@microwave-vh2uc]

This was my first job back in 1975. Did it for 5 years and honestly I have not missed it one little bit since.

[@quantumellon]

That's absolutely amazing. I've worked with metal in machine shops for years and never seen that done.. Thanx for sharing.

[@stabbification]

Very nice Victor,always nice to see a craftsman at work!

What would be the benefit of spinning the metal shape VS pressing?

[@cristianopinazzi240]

Bellissimo !!! 😉✨

[@bizling]

So, rotation with the right and forward movement with the left?

[@ValeraGVV]

What is the maximum thickness of the steel can be spinning?

[@SquirrelsForAll]

AMAZING SKILLS!

[@Thecamody]

is it like milling?

[@MisterFuturtastic]

Can you make the wooden shape used for the metal part to bend over on the same lathe?

So cool, especially how the metal shines very quickly when the sandpaper is applied. I'm guessing the sandpaper gets quite hot?

i casted aluminum thin sheet i tried to spin it but broke peaces what aluminum type is used for spining ?

[@deansmall8668]

Soft. Don't know ingredients of aluminum. I was a spinner for 12 years in Tabor city, N.C.

[@hdrjunkie]

that is too cool... i always thought youd use one of those computerized lathes that hold the tool and move it about on its own.. i never thought you can tool metal by hand like this...

Around 700 to 750 was max on a lathe that size.

Is that spinning tool actually on a bearing and rotating? Neat job

[@sethbourne6710]

Anyone know where to find the cutter he uses??? Can't find it anywhere and never seen one up close to know how they are made.

[@deansmall8668]

Just wield a small tip of hardened steel to the tip of a solid steel pipe. Then grind an edge on the tip.

[@damion223]

@snowhtr it might be cheaper but it isn't the king you can make a lot more different stuff on a mill than a lathe. lathes are 90% of the time used for round objects or making other objects round on the other hand a mill can produce round square triangle and about any other thing you can think of the mill is the king in the machine tool world and nothing so far can top it. because it can produce the same thing as a lathe can plus other stuff.

[@xenocore01]

@Thecamody You are actually cutting the material in milling. This is just a way to forge at high speed. Sort of a cold bend. But im no expert. Hopefully if you need more information , someone else will answer up.

[@deansmall8668]

I was a spinner for 12 years. Metal that is subject to high speeds (700rpm) seems to have strange effects on it. 700rpm for aluminum we would spin into exhaust fan covers for Wendy's, Mac Donald's, other type restaurants. Our lathes would begin 45 inch and would spin 10" flat round blanks. Big lathes up to 120" would spin 8 foot wide round blanks. 3/32 thin to 3/16 thick. Much of the noise was the metal stretching. Stretch it too thin and it will split. Takes a few years to master spinning these covers. Scrapped alot of covers during the first year. Dangerous work too. Sometimes the wooden blanks would age and crack. They would fly apart, go through the roof and gain such attitude as to come back thru the roof on it's way back down.

[@womsterr]

Would stamping that piece not be 1000x's easier?

[@Cancun771]

+womsterr The devil can be in the details. For example, by spinning, the material is very subtly thinned out toward the outer edges. When a certain extremely well-known Asian maker of music instruments started copying classic American trombones, they must have thought the same thing. Only that the stamped parts were of exactly uniform thickness (they might even have taken great pains to achieve that uniform thickness) and sounded like crap. They then put in years of research and development to first discover the exact nature of that thinning bell profile and then develop a complex process to achieve it, when it all happens naturally if you just spin the bell. Such details being irrelevant, I'd guess it depends on the numbers and the material. Spinning, you don't need a press, nor tooling for it, and there might be less material wasted.

[@womsterr]

+Cancun771 Fair point - but this for a flipping wind vane...

[@Cancun771]

Well, how many wind vane spinners do you need to sell to justify tooling costs for a stamp over work time of the metal spinner? Either they've done their numbers right or they'll just go bust ;-)

[@63GTDriver]

+womsterr Stamping would have a very expensive tooling cost associated with it.

[@siggyincr7447]

To make this on a press you would need to draw it down in a few stages. The costs associated in a few draw dies would only make sense if they need many thousands of these things. Not to mention this seemed pretty easy how they did it.
