Metal spinning a tube of 6061 aluminum down to make a motorcyle muffler light weight. This particular spinning the customer asked us to stretch the part a little to give a better yield per length. We also make 2 different precision stainless end caps that fit in both ends after welded to the baffel which is inserted after the tube is trimmed to size.

Nicely done

Got a dislike from someone in New Zealand without any comments. That's like throwing a rock on a freeway overpass, hitting a car below and hiding. What was he/she expecting to find? This is educational as to a method of spinning/ fabrication. I think it shows that.

He was probably looking for a whirling spinning Dervish, or perhaps he lost the thread and was looking how to make a new one. I could watch an expert spinning all day ! Watching solid metal flow like clay on a potters wheel. Malcolm

mparkerlisberg Really appreciate the support. It is a dying art, half mechanics half craftsmanship and a whole lot of "really, you can do that to metal?". Had another don't like on a different video that the person was like a cockroach - sneaks in under the cover of the anonymous internet and puts a don't like then leaves before you know it and hides out in the cyber abyss. If someone doesn't like something they really need to explain to be helpful. I do publish to show something hopefully a little different that might prove valuable to someone else. Thanks again.

It's a custom build variable speed lathe with 30" swing.

It's called duraspin. Before it was machined to shape they call it part of an ingot. As a unformed disk it's $500.00. Most expensive rollerblade you'll ever find.

Any tips on spinning a venturi, ie a stainless tube narrowing in the centre. Would it need a 2 piece inner template?

Yes, in short form. It is always best to spin on a form rather than in air. You will have much better consistancy and control of the material.

How is the tube fixtured on the chuck side of the lathe?

This is up to the spinner/tool designer. In this case it was clamped onto the spin chuck in a particular way that works for this job. The damaged/excess area is later cut off in a sizing tool. There are other methods or variations on how we can accomplish the task. All is related to the final results you are looking for and how much additional work you plan on needing to make the final part. This particular part is about 1 1/2" - 2" longer than required, cutting off from both ends to size which one is an angular cut-off.
