Subject - Metal shavings in boxes
SteveMc I've learned a neat trick to clean the metal shavings out of panels and boxes after they are drilled. Just drop a magnet in a plastic bag, slide it around in the shavings and then pull the bag off the magnet. All the shavings will drop off the bag and the magnet is still clean. I use my magnetic torpedo level if I don't have my magnet handy.
JimmyDee This is a great idea. I've cleaned the boxes for years with a magnet but never thought of the plastic bag. Thanks for the tip. I sure many will use it.
