You should totally use this as confetti for a party.

That may end the party though...

I can imagine the party dying, maybe literally, quite quickly.

We felt like recycling our shavings and we were at about 7 pounds of shaving from our 2 mills, 3 lathes and our CNC. I agree, shavings so hurt.

I wish we had the chip auger... we've made about 150 gallons of chips so far this season, and all of them have been scooped out of the machine by hand.

I guess 254 is milling their robot out of a solid block of aluminum this year. 150 gallons would fill a box the size of the max robot dimensions about halfway. :rolleyes:

Oh man, please recycle that.

It could all be on our robot one day. Your trash, our treasure.

I would have to 3rd this sentiment. I'm the recycling police at our place, I take other people's cans home for them (as I don't think any Cans in Austin should be disrespected, thank you) and I even took our aluminum sheet metal scraps home last year to recycle. Next step, getting the GDC to change from SLA batteries to supercapacitors and infrared plastic solar cells!

I sure do hope you recycle that, if that were to be melted that would easily be 10 lbs of scrap. Remember make Earth a happy place, dont make more waste

Dean Kamen would be Happy and we just got a $100 bucks for recycling all our cans for this season.
