Does a black anodized chip equal a “dirty” chip?
Our chip hoppers hold about 300lbs of aluminum chips. We keep them Very clean to get the most from them; I need to slide a small project on this machine early next week that requires facing about 0.020” deep. The part is anodized with a Type 2 black, I assume the chips/shavings will have a black tint to them; will this reduce the value of the container of chips?
The part is 6”x4” long plate, and we are only talking about 15 parts. I just don’t want to clean out the machine for a small run, and start right back to our normal aluminum production.
