This was from waveform or dynamic milling a few big key slots in a big stainless steel part.
I was using a 1/2" SC 5 flute. 0.62 DOC, 10% stepover 52 IPM with cold air. Only had one part, but managed to cover the machine in this beautiful tinsel!

I've got a job where I have to time save thousands of pieces a year and it looks like gold dust everywhere.
