I do not work in GOLD, the silver dust that ends up in the bench, on buffers, or whatever, isn't worth that much!!! (is it?) New, we're only talking around $4.00 (when ordering 100 ounces) something per ounce. Yes, I sweep filings, I use a sheet of paper to catch the saw stuff and filings, but beyond that, I don't bother. Should I get all I can? Thanks for advice.
Well, if you don’t want to bother with it, it’s your call. But
then, after reading your posting, I recalled something my old
employer told me about his running a gold manufacturing
operation here in Bangkok.
At the end of the year, when it was time to do the factory clean
up prior to the Chinese New Year, the companies that did the
clean up work would bid on the project - they would pay for the
right to clean the place up! Think about that for a moment if
you will.
All the best,
