CG Metal Spinners

Metal spinning is the process of forming a piece of flat metal in sheet stock over a pre-turned, three-dimensional pattern while it is spinning on a machine tool similar to a lathe. The forming is accomplished by applying pressure to the metal as it spins thus forcing it against the form and causing the metal to take the shape of the form. Metal spinning is most commonly used for open forms; meaning that the opening diameter is larger than the rest of the form, thus allowing the spun metal to be easily removed from the pattern. When closed forms are required, it is possible to form the component as multiple pieces and then solder them together to form the final closed spun form.
