Default How to make a spinner

IIRC, when I saw them making these in production, they used a large
hydraulic tracer lathe, and did them in one shot.




Yep, its really hard to find someone to learn the skill.
and IF you can get a machine to do it, the corp. folks love it.

When I first learned, there were only 3 of us in the shop out of
50 that could do it. when I retired, I was the last..
Now the work is done in India...that shop is no more.
the Corp. decided that they could do the work overseas rather
than train and maintain an all-around machine shop...
End of political statement...
