Swarf:

[AnitaR1Participant @anitar1]

Hello All, I hope you can help me please?!

I've placed a 'wanted' advert as I'm running out of ideas of how to acquire any.

For a little arts project of mine, I need a small amount, about a hand-full size, of swarf slithers, of either / all: titanium, copper, steel, aluminium, around 1cm, 0.5cm and smaller, that would just end up on your work-shop floor!

Can anyone here please supply me with this? I'll pay postage, and a 'donation,' or collect? My nearest city is Colchester.

Many thanks in advance.

Best wishes, Anita

How to obtain any?!

Hi,

Likely better to contact your nearest model engineering society, for local supples.

[AnitaR1Participant @anitar1]

Thank you for your reply.

I did discover an 'ancient' thread on this site of guys wondering what to do with swarf. Perhaps one of them will see my post?!

I've got a bin-bag full of the stuff – mostly stainless steel. But I live in the Midlands.

Just to clarify: I take it you are looking for chips rather than spaghetti?!

Also, do you want heat-oxidised material?

I am the local producer of swarf, in fact that,s all I seem to produce.

I bet there are many more like me, not too far away from you.

Try your local recycle centre, that,s where I get rid of mine.

Hello AnitaR1,

I have plenty, and live near Basildon, if you want to collect.

Hi Anita.

You could try the contact details here for Colchester Model Engineers.

Colchester.

I am too far away to help personally.

[AnitaR1Participant @anitar1]

Thank you all for your replies and help.

Much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Anita
