        A new twist in recent years with Wire EDM turning. (pun intended <g>).

        The sound is crappy, but look at the "fins" on the top of the pawn
shaped part. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

80's, wish I had that rotating spindle then!!

I saw mold shops doing this with motorized Harig whirlygigs in the early
1990's. Like everything else in the machine trades the idea has been
greatly improved upon.

A better pun in the video: "..... spark some interest...." :)

Incredible, tho.
And ditto Halfnutz: I didn't even realize those were the fins!!

How'd you like to take THAT home as a sample??

I wonder what rpm they turned the material at. It's proly irrelevant, no?
Or simply the faster the better?

Surface finish??
