Every once in a while I’ll work at a Killark factory where they make light fixtures. There is 2 dumpsters on the side with aluminum shavings.

Do you pitch the scrap or recycle it somehow?

If the shavings are thin enough you could totally bag this and re-sell as that synthetic snow shit people put on their christmas trees

Don’t remember if I’ve asked this, but what kind of CNC are you running?

What are you making, exactly? Also, Tormach?

I couldn’t tell you what it does. It goes on a machine that diverts assembly line stuff. We just get sent the individual drawings, not a complete assembly.
