wrote The metal in the video looked like stainless. How is aluminum spun without it galling on the tool? Do they use a roller instead of the bar? A lot of spinners use wood for their tools, but this one did look like metal tools. It was aluminum, though. Did you notice that he used a can of spray one time towards the end? Lubricant such as silicone does help things slide a bit easier, but it is not necessary. Rollers are used by machines when they do the turning, since they don't have the feel for the art, and exactly how much pressure to apply, like a human has. -- Jim in NC |

Dan I think it was aluminum, and he was undoubtedly using lubricant. |

IIRC, when I saw them making these in production, they used a large hydraulic tracer lathe, and did them in one shot. Yep, its really hard to find someone to learn the skill. and IF you can get a machine to do it, the corp. folks love it. When I first learned, there were only 3 of us in the shop out of 50 that could do it. when I retired, I was the last.. Now the work is done in India...that shop is no more. the Corp. decided that they could do the work overseas rather than train and maintain an all-around machine shop... End of political statement... |
