How may take a really close look at the swarf they produce?

I was cutting some rings from the face of 6" brass round
http://webpages.charter.net/dwarner2/Rings.JPG
for a clockmaker / co-worker, and was (easily) impressed by the
variety of forms the cuttings had, from the .063" wide flat sprials,
to dust particles, to wispy fluff.

I decided to take a macro shot of the stuff before disposing of it,
and posted this large (2.7MB) photo to scroll around it.
If your web browser shrinks it to fit the screen, expand it to full
size to see the full range..

Cool picture, you could frame that one.

That photo would make a very nice Windows desktop wallpaper.

Or any system -- not just Windows. I plan to put it on my Sun
unix systems.

Enjoy,

Actually, I'll go one step further. It makes a great screen background.

I also kind of like the blue color when you are taking a heavy cut of steel
with a carbide cutter.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands! Very nice shot. I tried it
as wallpaper, can't find any of my icons.

A different arrangement, cropped to 3:4 ratio for best fit on standard
monitors, 1600 x 1200.

I also pumped up the saturation a bit more to highten the gold effect,
and shot it in the shade, taking care to eliminate overblown
highlights.

Boy, see what happens when you let an "artist" in the machine
shop! Loses all focus on making the part and starts doing artsy
photographs of the chips! Even in black and white, I would have
recognized that material as brass, though!

That's a great looking pile of turnings. I've noticed that the tight spirals
that come out of soft synthetic materials looks a lot like worm or grub body
rings.

I haven't tried 'em out, but white or nylon spirals might trick a fish into
thinking it's food. Slip a length on a jig head, maybe?

I have a deck of playing cards with a print of a painting on the back called
"Milling Chips". The painting is one of a group made for Kearney and Trecker
but I do not remember the artist right now. Very pretty.
