>>524483>Because I doubt the company is recycling the tiny bits of metal that they drill or mill out to make them.Machinist here, and shops do in fact recycle the chips and such that result from the manufacturing process.
We have sweeper gals who spend all day going around sweeping up the chips and dumping them in 55gal barrels scattered around the shops labeled "steel", "bronze", "aluminum" and "misc", which are then sold to recyclers once full.
That said, I also have no idea why Buck decided to put holes in that froe, as they are needless additional operations that cost money and provide no profit.
