"Metal Spinning" by C. Tuells and William A. Painter is a scientific publication from the early 20th century, specifically around the 1910s. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the process of metal spinning, detailing techniques, tools, and applications in the manufacturing industry. Aimed at machinists and metalworking professionals, it explores the principles of transforming sheet metal into various hollow shapes using lathes and hand tools. The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the principles and practices of metal spinning, while the second delves into the necessary tools and methods used in the process. It outlines the types of metals suitable for spinning, the construction and function of essential tools like spinning lathes and followers, and provides detailed descriptions of various spinning operations. Additionally, it discusses the importance of factors such as speed and annealing in achieving high-quality results. By the end of the book, readers gain a thorough understanding of the craft, enabling them to perform metal spinning tasks effectively and efficiently, whether in small batch production or larger manufacturing contexts.
