Many researchers have done some work on the analysis of shear spinning process. But they are limited to a certain extent. This paper deals with the experiment of shear spinning process on aluminum to find out the fundamental characteres in detail. The influence of the following working conditions are discussed ; roller position angle (δ), clearance between roller and mandrel (C), feed of roller (ν), cone angle (2α), speed of rotation of mandrel (N), roller corner radius (ρ
R), roller diameter (D
R), blank thickness (t
0) and blank diameter (D
0). In addition, the deformation theory of simple shear, which is derived from the observation of the experiments, is checked about the tangential force P
θ. It is appointed that there are an optimum blank thickness t
s, of which the calculated values agree with the experiments, and if the blank thickness is thinner then t
s, the theoretical value is overestimated, but it is under-restimated the other way round.
