| A PROUD HISTORY |
Metal Spinning is one of the oldest forms of engineering,which can be traced right back through the ages.The tradesmen that participate in the craft tend to be a proud bunch,proud to be involved in what has to be said a very unique operation,many people ask,what is metal spinning?my reply,always the simplest way out,and easiest explanation is pottery with metal,if you can imagine "throwing the pot" on the potters wheel it is very similar,but in sheet metal form,sheet metal material is cut into a disc,and then the fun begins,transported to the lathe area,the disc is handed to the metal spinning engineer who will then spin the material over a solid piece of precision made tooling(made to the customers specification),the lathes that spin round so fast and the hand skill of the engineer has to be seen to be believed,and then after a period of time,the flat metal disc from the start has as if my magic been transformed into a hollow shape of a very useful nature,be it a cone a dome or any other shape required.
If you are in our area please arrange a visit for a full demonstration,remember, it has to be seen to be believed. (see contact page)
