- In this video I demonstrate the complete process of machining a huge 2 lb, 4” spinning top from brass and aluminum.
You'll notice I use both CNC and manual controls. This mixed method allows me to optimize certain operations, while also providing flexibility to quickly adjust and play around with various designs.
Tools Used in this Video:
* Tormach Slantpro Lathe
* An old beat up Grizzly Manual Lathe
* 10 Ton Drake Press
* Eagle Rock Hand Knurler

Just placed an order for one of these! Can't wait to receive it! I keep a series of Plier Spinning Tops on my desk at the office and every visitor I have asks about them and wants to spin them. Such a great conversation starter!
Thanks!
You could add a squiggly line on the side and or inside if you wanted there to be a way to visually tell how fast it's spinning, but the mystical look it has when it's as if it's not moving and just floating would be lost so
Good idea! I definitely like the look of a top when it is spinning but looks still; as a machinist, it lets me know I didn’t mess something up.
Impressive skill & talent, Chase, not that's anything new to knowing about you. For a Big Ass Top, it looks terrific!
Thank you!
(I found it in the trash) was my favorite part. Edit - I lied, sleepy orange baby at the end is best part.
Awesome video! Loved the press ruby tip, but for some reason expected it to be spinning on granite, is that a thing in the top world?
Does the watch oil help it stabilize faster, if not what does it help with? If it does help stabilize faster, would it make spins longer or improve stability on your Orbit Top?
Very Beautiful! Have you considered making a top with spokes to reduce the amount of friction between it and the air?
Thanks! I’ve seen some designs with something like spokes. BilletSpin makes some that are like this. I’m not sure of the aerodynamics of it, but it looks great.
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Thank you for making this video. How much can I buy one like that?
Thanks! I should have some XL 4” tops available soon. They range price from $230-$300.

What's that you're sprinkling on it? Looks like grated Parmesan cheese!
Ha! It’s sawdust.
