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

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.
Tom B –
I just received my Cahaba 2.4 today. It is beautiful, well-made, and I just timed a 14-minute spin!
