Metal spinning

[Olds]

Had a quick go at metal spinning using the Myford.
Results were ok until the centre of the work piece broke out. May have too much pressure on this area.
Has anyone else tried this ( with success ), if so any tips or help would be most welcome.

I've got to be honest,I've never herd of it before.
But it looks like a pleasurable thing to do.

if you are using aluminium it should be anneald first  as the  forming work hardens it and it becomes brittle  depending on how much shape you putin it may need to be anneald more than once

I'd never heard of it either. Very clever that.
You can certainly learn some things on this ere forum.

Edit: Sorry I remembered wrong Jami used a press to make the cone shape before he took the finishing in the lathe in the last link.
