Shear forming and conventional spinning are being used less than other manufacturing processes such as deep drawing and ironing. Being able to achieve almost net shape, thin sectioned parts, makes spinning a versatile process used widely in the production of lightweight items.

Typical components produced by mechanically powered spinning machines include rocket nose cones, gas turbine engine and dish aerials.
