Spinning A Bell Flare Sheet Metal

Metal spinning does not involve removal of material as in conventional wood or metal turning but forming moulding of sheet.

Spinning a bell flare sheet metal.

The sheet metal spinning process begins when the sheet is cut to a certain size and attached to a lathe mandrel which spins at very high rpm. This will make obtaining a nice finish on the completed spinning very difficult. If the oxide is not removed it will be pressed into the surface of the metal being spun. This must be removed before spinning can resume.

The sheet metal is then slowly forced with hand held tools and rollers to form over the mandrel and it slowly takes the shape of the desired part. Metal spinning also known as spin forming or spinning or metal turning most commonly is a metalworking process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part. After annealing the metal it will be coated with a black oxide. They are available in metric thread sizes m5 m6 and 8.

Spinning can be performed by hand or by a cnc lathe. Fast extreme big metal spinning process working amazing cnc metal spinning machine.
