Cahaba spinning tops from Scovie Precision Turning are back! (sort of)
Introducing the Cahaba 2.0 series, which includes four variations. This listing is for a single variation – you select which one from the dropdown menu when you add it to your cart, or purchase the full set at a discount. After selling out the original, limited edition Cahaba spin tops, I received numerous requests to make more Cahaba tops. I finally decided to do so, but I also wanted to make improvements on them. I’ve maintained the individual characteristics of the original Cahaba spin tops.. but with improvements!
This is now version 2.0! Improvements include:
- The stem is shorter.
- The stainless steel body is slightly shorter.
- More material was machined from the face groove on the back side of the body.
- The stainless steel ball bearing tip was upgraded to Carbide.
- The tip is set deeper.
- All the outside diameter grooves on the body are more evenly spaced and the sizes of the grooves are uniform for a more aesthetically pleasing look than the original Cahaba tops.
Specifications of all of the tops in the Cahaba 2.0 series:
- Stainless steel body with an aluminum core.
- Ground Carbide ball bearing tip.
- Diamond knurl spin grip.
- Spin time of 10+ minutes.
- Size is 1.7 inches (43.18 mm) in diameter and 1.28 inches (31.36 mm) tall.
- Weight is 3.0 to 3.3 ounces (85 to 95 grams), depending on the variation.
Here are the individual design features of each Cahaba 2.0 variation:
Cahaba 2.1
- 4 steps on the bottom face
- 3 narrow, tightly grouped grooves on the outside diameter
Cahaba 2.2
- 2 steps on the bottom face
- 3 narrow, spread out grooves on the outside diameter
Cahaba 2.3
- 1 step on the bottom face
- 1 large deep groove on the bottom face
- 2 wide grooves on the outside diameter
Cahaba 2.4
- 1 step on the bottom face
- 2 wide grooves on the outside diameter
Note that stand and spinning base are not included. The Cahaba 2.0 tops come in a drawstring pouch for safe and easy storage and transport.

I got the Cahaba IV years ago (the first version), but I always liked the idea of having a partially hollowed underside on the rotor. So now I have the Cahaba 2.3, and it’s amazing! The shorter stem (and whatever other changes Scott made) make it spin so strong and smooth. It’s really fun to watch!

I got Cahaba 2.3 after having the 2.4 Cahaba for a couple weeks. Another great Top from Scovie. My best time on the 2.3 has been 16:24 and best time on the 2.4 has been 16:25.
I have over 60 tops and Scovie Tops are the best and My Favorite ones.

Got the Cahaba 2.4 My best spin time has been
14.20 but that was probably a almost perfect spin for me. Normally can hit around 10-12 minutes.
Im Hooked on Scovie Tops! I Love the Quality and the designs of them.
Want to get the 2.3 Cahaba next.

Today received my Cahaba 2.4. It is beautiful, very nice craftsmanship it has lower CG’s it is well balanced. I gave it nick name “Godzilla” relation to it’s size. I am very picky I did put some metal polish on it and gave some good buffing to a very nice shine!!! Next gave a spin on a glass spinning station wow timed at 14 minutes and 24 seconds, Godzilla spun very well stood upright without any wobble while spinning. Easy top to spin. Now I compared Godzilla to other tops in my possession, Vorso MK1 Copper/Aluminum with ceramic bearing 11minutes and 24 seconds, Prometheus Lamda Solid Copper with ruby bearing 13 minutes 10 seconds and the Cheetop Solid Stainless Steal 4minutes and 20 second. Yes Cahaba 2.4 is the favorite and the champ. I will recommend that top. Thanks Scovie.
