<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 5276841, member: 73983"]This is what I am leaning towards the most. It seems the most plausible cause. I was very surprised to not find more of it struck into the devices. My guess would be the surface of the dies were oiled after polishing and then sawdust was used to absorb the excess maybe? The oil was not applied to the surfaces of the devices, so they remained clear of the sawdust as it was casually discarded from the die prior to use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
