Dear Rick Hugel,

"Swarf", and ancient word for the dust from filing any material. Often =
used to denote the mass of fine turnings associated with lathe work or =
drilling. Another nice word from the same workshop route is "Fash", =
denoting the rough edge which is sometimes found along the edge of a =
material which has been cut with a saw which creates an "Arris". You may =
get "Fash' on the inside of a teapot strainer which has to be removed if =
you want a clean "Arris", that is the edge formed between the planes of =
the cylindrical aperture and the inside face of the pot.

Best regards,

Ivor Lewis.
