think I've ever gotten an aluminum sliver in my hand, but my hands have
dozens of tiny metal splinters in them right now.

What's a machinist to do?



magnet in a plastic bag. Should be able to attract the steel needles to the plastic bag and then remove the magnet from the bag so you can dump the needles in to the trash.

Have not done this but ought to work.
