Default tramming a mini mill

Swarf, by definition, is fine residue created by
abrasion or machining. Grinding machines create swarf, lathes and mills



About a thousand years ago, when I used to cut records, the acetate
gouged out by the stylus in the record lathe was refered to as "swarf".
The vacuum system and jar that sucked up the cuttings was the "swarf
collector". The other night I had to explain to my daughter what a "45"
was. Damn I'm old.
