coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 1:42 pm These die chips makes me want to call them slivers. Like when you cut glass, the edge of the glass with make vertical little slivers, but I've taking about horizontal slivers. The glass resembles like thin ice chips. That is what these die chips remind me of. A horizontal die chip, rather than a vertical die chip? The difference? To me the vertical one looks like it happened on the down strike. The Horizontal one makes me think it happened on an up way lifting on that area of the die. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/08/2018 08:22 am The analogy to glass slivers is a good one because the die chips simitar to how glass ships and for the same reason it is hard but brittle and will often chip by flaking. Report this Post to the Staff
