Metal Spinning Services

At Allspun Metals, metal spinning is at the core of what we do. With decades of hands-on experience, we transform flat metal discs into perfectly formed, seamless components using precision techniques and skilled craftsmanship.

What is Metal Spinning?

Metal spinning is a highly specialised forming process where a flat sheet of metal is rotated at speed and shaped over a mould (mandrel) to create symmetrical, round components.

The result is:

  • Smooth, seamless finishes
  • Consistent wall thickness
  • High structural integrity
  • Reduced material waste

It’s a cost-effective and efficient method for producing both one-off custom pieces and repeat production runs.

Metal spinning allows us to produce strong, lightweight, and visually clean parts without the need for welding—making it an ideal solution for both functional and architectural applications.

Our Capabilities

Allspun Metals offer both traditional hand spinning and CNC lathe metal spinning, giving us the flexibility to match the right process to your project.

Hand Spun Metal Spinning

Our experienced tradespeople use traditional hand spinning techniques to produce custom, one-off, and complex components. This method allows for greater flexibility when working with unique designs, prototypes, or jobs that require a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

CNC Lathe Metal Spinning

For repeatable accuracy and higher volume production, our CNC spinning capabilities deliver consistent, precise results. This method is ideal for batch work, ensuring uniformity across all components while maintaining efficiency and cost control.

Materials we work with

We work with a range of metals suited to the spinning process, selecting the right material based on strength, finish, and application requirements.

Aluminium

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to form, aluminium is one of the most commonly used materials in metal spinning.

It’s ideal for applications where weight reduction and a clean finish are important, such as lighting, architectural features, and general components.

Stainless Steel

Known for its strength and corrosion resistance, stainless steel is suited for demanding environments where durability and longevity are critical.

It provides a clean, professional finish and is commonly used in food-grade, marine, and industrial applications.

Mild Steel

A versatile and cost-effective option, mild steel is well suited for structural and general-purpose components.

It offers excellent strength and can be easily welded, coated, or finished to suit a wide range of applications.

 

Copper & Brass

These materials are ideal for decorative and architectural work, offering a distinctive appearance and excellent formability.

Copper and brass are often used where visual impact matters, while still maintaining durability and functionality.

Special Metals

We also work with a range of specialty and precious metals for unique project requirements.
