Link To Part #1: • The Brass Super Spinne...
Part 2 of 2: Introducing the Super Spinner!, a project I made for my grandson, a spin top he can enjoy for years to come. Made totally from scratch out of brass and 6061 aluminum, I detail how its made, the problems I had and how I overcame them. Using just finger power to spin it….it will spin flawlessly for close to 6 minutes depending on how well you torque this little spinning top. A great How To and DIY Lathe project. I may offer a few versions of this for sale, contact me for details if this is something that may interest you. I appreciate ya!

Makin Sumthin From Nuthin no worries man. I still enjoyed it. I always enjoy your Vids. I have been building things from junk lately. My welds are getting some better. I built a welder cart. I also made a cover for my welder. Next project is a trailer to haul lawn equipment on.

I love it! One hell of a job for real! Ive used ball-bearings on a few of my tops.. One thing you can try on future projects, smaller ball-bearings. They keep the top from walking all over the place. Anyways, Excellent job brotha, High Five!

Lovely....from the beginning of video I was thinking using a smaller bearing ball, but pushed into a deeper hole and a little beyond center of ball, then with a tool pushing the end over so ball can't fall out. I'm afraid after some dropping this ball can come out. Now a little engraving would be nice also. And...if it was building one myself...about 3 flats/grooves or spheres milled across on top and painted/filled red paint or something so one can more easily see motion.

Those are all great ideas, given more time I woulda spruced it up some! If the ball comes out I am sure Grandpa will be called upon to fix it, but I used a liberal amount of loctite on it. Thanks for watching and the great comment! :)

Try putting a T land on the cutting edge of your parting tool, you won't believe how much better it will cut. Use a 10 t0 15 degree angle on the top of the blade and only take off a few thousandths 5 to 10. It will be like the T land on ceramic cutters. If done right you will love the results. Steve

Parting will always cause me lack of sleep. LOL My machine may be rigid enough being a 12 x 36 but it is in a wood shop 10" off the ground on cinder blocks so I lost the rigidity battle right from the get go....but do my best :)

That's a beautiful top! Maybe machine out a parabolic dish a few inches in diameter for it to spin on...something you could engrave a message around the bottom of for your grandson. Just a thought

I wonder what the effects would be if you were to drill four to six 1/2" holes around the inside of it. Would be lighter but would also be easier to spin. Maybe get a bit more speed and 'hang time'. Looks great to me. Fantastic job!!! Gotta love machining!

I wonder if you fully assembled/ roughed it all out, then finish turned it between centers, if it would get rid of that tiny flutter it has. That said I gotta believe that bison chuck repeats beautifully to get the fine result you did. Nice job!

I actually wanted to do that and went so far as to taking out a lathe dog but felt it would damage the knurl so 86’d that idea. (order of operations bit me) The bison chuck is a really great chuck, love it! 😊

Yea, I don't know what the ration difference is, but trust me, that cross feed is moving faster than carriage feed. I have my feed rates gear reduced to 50% and I power cut off but it's dicey!

That is pretty awesome Richard. It occurs to me that a very course thread pitch cut on the OD with a scratch pass or a hair deeper would give a barber pole effect on the outside. Nice Job!

Another case of something I've seen people do that I would've done differently... mostly talking about the set screw thing, I would've just turned down the brass and cut threads on it, brass holds a thread easier than aluminum does. Tapping it out and putting in the steel screw was unneeded. But like I said, would've done it differently. Not saying you are wrong, just a difference in how we see to do things.I have the same issue watching people paint miniatures for tabletop gaming... or watching people build little engines and whatnot. I wonder how long it'd go if you put a bearing on top to hold onto and put a rip chord on it. ZING! hear the thing scream and watch it spin for an hour :P

I was just building as I went along, it was totally over-engineered but was a fun project to make. I am sure there are hundreds of ways to have made it better than what I came up with 😊

The "top heavy" issue is not completely a result of the top's center of mass height; rather, it is a result of a combination of several parameters, including the radius of the tip. A tip that is too sharp will not be able to "walk" across the table surface, and thus cannot restore the balance of forces needed to keep the top stable. Here is a link to a better explanation: www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~cross/SPINNING%20TOPS.htm
