What are the typical tolerances that can be achieved with metal spinning?
Typical tolerances for manual metal spinning are +/- 1/16 , although with proper gauges tighter tolerances can be achieved on some dimensions. Typical tolerances for CNC spinning are +/- 1/32 or less depending upon the part and the particular dimension in question. In most cases CNC lathes can produce tolerances that rival stamping and deep drawing processes but not machining tolerances. .
