Turnings & borings

Curled swarf and chips from machining. They can carry cutting oil and take up a lot of space, so they’re often briquetted before melting.

What to check before you buy

Check oil and coolant content, moisture and whether steel and cast iron are mixed. Long, tangled turnings handle differently from short chips.
