The Cataract spin top series combines exceptional craftsmanship with a diverse range of body materials. Choose from one of four identical dimensioned tops with one of four different body materials – brass, stainless steel, copper, and bronze (or purchase the full set at a discount!). They all have an aluminum core with a knurled spin grip and a carbide ball bearing tip. They all have two grooves around the outside of the body, a small face groove on the bottom of the body, and a large face groove on the top of the body. Your top will arrive in a gift box and drawstring bag.

The name Cataract draws its inspiration from the magnificent Cataract Canyon in Utah and its awe-inspiring landscapes. Just like the vibrant hues and natural beauty of the canyon’s rock formations, the materials used in the Cataract series exhibit a similar array of captivating colors.

Another top notch top from Scovie Precision . I have them all except the first one. The coosie I think it’s called. All have been robust holding up to hours of use. You will love these tops. I am glad I found this maker!

Precisely a gem. The Cataract is beyond a doubt one of the best tops, in a long line of excellent tops, from the Scovie Precision Turning shop. My first purchase from this latest release, the copper Cataract, is perfectly sized, perfectly weighted, easy to spin, flawlessly machined, and mesmerizing to watch. I knew as soon as I first handled it, before even the first spin, that this one is special. The first spin then proved that and more. World class.
