Turnings can be found in industries which manufacture steel products and appliances.
This grade of metal can only be achieved by cutting blocks of steel with a turning, drilling or milling machine.
Despite their small size, these bits of metal can be sold for a decent scrap price with most scrap yards.
Steel turnings are typically contaminated with coolant which is used to cool down the metal whilst it is being cut with a drill or milling machine. If your factory is producing steel swarf, it is advisable to drain the coolant to avoid unnecessary deductions from the price of your scrap steel turnings as this liquid incurs unnecessary costs for scrapyards that will be passed on to you.
People who manufacture steel-based products and appliances will encounter turnings on a daily basis.
There is almost always some money to be made from machining scrap and it’s a good idea to clear your workshop floor and sell the swarf you’ve accumulated.

Steel turnings are small but sharp slithers of metal. They have a curled appearance and can even resemble a scouring pad when clumped together.
As their name suggests, this kind of steel swarf is produced during a machine process called turning.
Filings, chips and shavings are alternative names for this grade of metal.
Most machinists will receive standard training on how to handle steel turnings, but for those who are unfamiliar here is what you should do:
Steel turnings are extremely sharp and can cause serious injuries to the eyes and skin if they’re not handled correctly.
You can sell steel turnings to a scrap yard or metal dealer in your area.
