September 4, 20169 yr Author one more question... what do y'all do to get your fines??? me.. set of soil test sieves...
September 4, 20169 yr Depends on the source. Don't do any metal milling. I create fines from crushing rock. Fines are the intended end product.

Fines are the intended end product. did we just jump the tracks... Swarf as I have always understood was wood dust... as in the by product of sanding... finer grits = finer swarf... Sawdust was chunks, pieces and larger particles... as in blade produced...
September 4, 20169 yr Semantics. I've always used swarf and fines interchangeably. Both refer to "waste" from any milling or crushing operation. Edited September 4, 20169 yr by Gene Howe
September 4, 20169 yr I have always known swarf to be the material left over from sharpening blades but the use here seems to fit. 47 minutes ago, Stick486 said: one more question... what do y'all do to get your fines??? me.. set of soil test sieves... I generally just go really fast down the highway and the local constable is more than willing to give me a few "fines"
September 4, 20169 yr Never had much satisfaction with swarf and glue -- essentially you have a pile of end-grain and glue that for the most part resists stain. Much better luck will filling afterwards -- either burn in repair or wax (beaumontage*) repair. * another new word for you all
September 4, 20169 yr I agree with Keith. While it was hard for me to do mentally at first (applying stain and first coat of finish over the defect ) you can then match the fill exactly to the finish color. Roly
