What is Metal Spinning?

Metal spinning is a type of metal working process that sees a disc of metal being shaped at a high speed. This disc is formed into a symmetric part using other metal spinning tools. Metal spinning can be both a handcraft as well as a high-tech computer-aided manufacturing process. Decorative items are usually hand-produced, whereas machine tools that are expected to be precise use a CNC lathe device, one controlled by Computer Numerical Control. Handcrafting artists may use metal spin devices to create household goods, lighting fixtures, fine architectural detail and even urns. On the other hand, commercial manufacturing will create products like gas cylinders, waste receptacles and mechanical tools. Some commercial companies, whether locally based or nationwide, will offer metal spin assistance to industrial companies that require metal custom products.
