Rotary file swarf is evil.

Well, not so much.. but I did find a new use for the boom mounted
stereo microscope normally used as a surface mount re-work station ..
Oh what an odd life I find myself in....

You're -really- checking out your wifey's arse, aren't ya? Har!


BTW, its my personal belief that the most evil part about rotary file
swarf is the fact it is short enough to embed in the skin with the end
result being "flush mounted." This way you can't feel the splinter
when wiping it with a hand, but apply pressure (or work on live 12vdc)
and it gets your attention in a hurry, only for you to look and not
see or feel anything.

Teensy metal splinters are all like that. It sucks, bigtime.


The only redeeming thing working in my favor at the moment is at least
it was mild steel and not good stainless. At least mild steel rusts
and leaves a black mark to find after a few days. Stainless steel
just sits there invisibly inflicting discomfort..

"What were you doing this weekend, Jim?"
