Swarf varieties..
"Doug Warner" wrote in message ... 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.. http://webpages.charter.net/dwarner2/Swarf.jpg Cool picture, you could frame that one. |
