Metal Spinning Tooling There are two general types of tooling for metal spinning processes: wood and steel. CNC lathes are equipped with hydraulicly actuated arms that generate a tremendous amount of pressure from the material being spun to the tooling underneath it. When the material is formed to the tools, the pressure increases by a
