I work for a spring company for years and their R&D development lab. Do not forget the heat set the spring. It will give it a much longer longevity and a consistent Force. This can be done by sticking in an oven at a relatively high temperature. This is dependent upon what type of material you are using. Between 350 and 800° Fahrenheit. Overall a very nice job keep up the good work. Most of his Heat Treating was done between 500 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit. And only for a few minutes. As the diameter was very small.

spring steel wire- the right heat and oil ??--In most cases, springs are made from one of these widely used spring materials: Stainless Steel - This spring material is a cold drawn general-purpose wire that offers corrosion and heat resistance. Music Wire - As a spring material, music or piano wire is the highest quality cold drawn, high carbon wire.

Forging of the steel starts at 1050°C to, finish at 850°. Hot forming to require spring shape is done at 900-820°C, and then sub-critically annealed at 640 to 700°C to have a hardness of 225 BHN. Normalising is done at 850 to 880°C.

Thanks for sharing your professional knowledge and helping DIYers like us. One question - how long to heat the springs and also is there a specific cooling process involved, or just let it naturally cool down in the oven or outside? Thanks again.

Nice idea. Put the handle on the other end of the rod and put a slot instead of a hole in the rod to start the spring. Then it can be easily removed once wound.

Great! This method is much safer than machining with a lathe, and can also produce long springs. Thank you.

nice creation very very good job

Nice Idea and good job . But there is a missing step that is to harden the steel rods after you make the spring . Needs to be heated from 500 to 800 and that depends on the type of steel to be harden or most people would say tempered . A person can go as fair as using stainless steel and that needs to be harden also . There is also brass springs . The best time to make springs is in the early Spring . Never ever make springs in the late Spring .

What a great build! It beats the hell out of how I’ve made them by hand, with drill rod and a cordless drill. The wood screw for the handle cracks me up though, because it is the least comfortable one I’ve ever seen! At least drive it into a wooden handle.

It's been said below by others....Pretty cool!

interesting, similar to your video, i put a few deep nuts in a vice like that, and run my threaded rod back and forth a bunch of times with a drill, to straighten out bent threaded rods. ( probably only works with smaller rods more prone to being bent)

Very nice.... From INDIA. Tamil nadu.

Nice! Simple & strait forward,but what if as in my case the spring wind is the opposite direction? I need to produce a spring that is counter clock. I guess I'll just use a 3/8 dowel & slot the end. Sucks to not have the threads to guide the wire

Dear friend how is the spren both side wire need long ?

In the absence of a reply from GreenSaw: 1 - M12 has a pitch of 1.75mm. So the wire appears to be about 1mm dia. Say 18AWG (or 19SWG if you can find it!) 2 - In the absence of "Spring wire" you can use piano wire (Music wire in US). It wouldn't need heat treatment if only bent once (so look out for the ends!) and might spring open to a larger diameter when slipped off the screw-rod.

I need to fabricate a spring with a slightly larger diameter halfway along the spring for a very short length.. Both ends will remain smallest diameter. How can this be done? In other words there must be a bulge in the spring somewhere ialong the length but not the ends. Thank you in advance. The spring has no mechanical function except as a guide for a rod in a tube.

I needed to make a spring-shaped resistance, 1.0 meter long. I used a 1.25 meter long 5/16" screw. It took me a day to get the resistance (spring) off the screw. I do not advise using this technique with long springs.

If you try to wind it off the handle end as in the video the sring will tighten on to the rod. Instead of backing it towards the winder, advance it towards the other end of the threaded rod, then the spring will increase slightly in size and screw off easily.

This is also a good way to make jump rings for making chains or chainmail.

I think, there is little bit more to making spring, then making the shape. You make custom spring for specific application with specific requirements: overal length, diameter, pitch, size of wire, comression or extention travel limits, force needed to compress or extend it, life of the spring-how many comressions or extentions it will last. Now, how do you proceed, to calculate and select proper material and heat treatment procedures to satisfy that?! And of course, how do you go about giving it thespecific shape?!

Kolay gelsin 👍🏼 :)
