Highland Hardware in Atlanta (and online) carries the full Sorby line of
tools and supplies for metal spinning, as well as the Sorby video on metal spinning. Lest others feel that this post is in the wrong area, you will find them at the HH site under "Woodturning". Here is the link: http://www.tools-for-woodworking.com...S&Category=238 Watch for the wrap if your browser is minimized.

Next time I'll elaborate a bit more for those who have pulled their bottom
lip over the top of their head and swallowed. If you push real hard you might be able to right yourself again. "mac davis" wrote in message ...

Thanks to all that responded (except for one). I will check out the
metalworking forum. I think of metalworking more of knife making, fabrication and scuplture. That is why I asked here. "speedbuggy" wrote in message . com... Does anyone have a supply for metal spinning tools and discs? Thanks, Kris |

Kris, Mac is a good guy who like all of us at times can't resist.
Lighten up, thank him for having read your query, forgive his weak resistance and let's all laugh & scratch and have fun turning wood. BTW, Dave Hout, a great turning teacher, has a handout with suppliers of metal spinning discs, lubricants and info re tools that is very helpful.

Kris,
Don't feel bad for posting here - this was the most appropriate place, and it is doubtful that anything related to metal spinning will be found in the metal working links; metal spinning is more closely related to woodturning, and indeed you use woodturning tools, techniques, and WOOD to turn the forms that you form the metal over (and the tool rest is designed for use on a woodworking lathe). As mentioned in my earlier post, Highland Hardware has these items, and they do list them under woodturning. Is this something new for you? I have considered giving this a try as well. Would enjoy hearing your take on it. Regards, Fred Bearman Port Huron, Michigan "speedbuggy" wrote in message om... Thanks to all that responded (except for one).

Arch,
I sure he is a good guy. I reviewed a few of his posts before replying. I normally don't respond like that. "Arch" wrote in message ...

"speedbuggy" wrote in message om... Thanks to all that responded (except for one). I will check out the metalworking forum. not that I'm an expert on either, but IIUC, metal spinning is more a wood_turning activity than a metalworking activity the guys at the metalworking forum use top-slides and tool holders and powerfeeds etc Otto I think of metalworking more of knife making, fabrication and scuplture. That is why I asked here. "speedbuggy" wrote in message . com... Does anyone have a supply for metal spinning tools and discs? Thanks, Kris |
