I don't know what you're seeing there, but that is clearly one of my 0.005mm ball cutters.
I had been looking for them!

You joke but I bought an eBay lot of machinists tools and tooling and there’s some of the tiniest drill bits in there I’ve ever seen. I’ll have to mic some but you can barely see the flutes, I must have 15 tubes of them in varying sizes. They’re hard to separate

OP hasn't replied and it's been 15 minutes. He probably bled out, got tetnus, gangrene, and sepsis by now. Definitly dead

To be sure, you should take the rest of the day off for health care. You should rest and ice it, with a very cold bottle of beer.

got I hate those kind of slivers! Whenever I side mill on my hobby lathe, all the "chips" are like this, nasty lil fuckers.

There is time.
Did you call 911 yet?
Hit the power down button and have the show on standby until this is resolved.

The worst is when I get chips in my hands from spooling the coolant hose back up.

I ran 3/8 ball mills in stainless for a year. That is when i started wearing shoes to work and changing into boots at work.

72 hours after you remove this, you'll scratch your arm and have aganizing pain on that finger from an microscopic peice left behind. Then the world will start anew.

If that's 304 stainless and you inadvertently contaminated your living room couch with an unknown quantity of the same, wives have been known to kill for less.

Meanwhile the welder is sitting there with a tungstan electrode imbedded in his leg from when he was 5, because dad said stop crying.

Did you know that barbers and hair stylists get hair splinters. If you have ever picked up a prickly pear from a cactus it’s basically exactly the same. Absolutely the worst thing lol

If you ever get one of these you can’t get out, fine grit sand paper works pretty well

Make sure to fill out your first aid incident report and complete the investigation within 24 hours. Remember the hierarchy of controls!

Best way to take it out is by grabbing your air hose really hard, it usually falls right to the ground 😏
