OK then just to come clean about this, hear is the Wiki definition:
Fascinating how a word can cause so much fun......and it is MY word ahaaaa
Swarf: also known as turnings, chips, or filings, are shavings and chippings of metal — the debris or waste resulting from metalworking operations. It can usually be recycled, and this is the preferred method of disposal due to the environmental concerns regarding potential contamination with cutting fluid or tramp oil. The ideal way to remove these liquids is by the use of a centrifuge which will separate the fluids from the metal, allowing both to be reclaimed and prepared for further treatment.
