One advantage of trying SS shavings is that, if you have access to the machine shop, you can select for jobs where "heavy" cuts were turned. I suspect that the SS scrub pads are simply too thin to hold up under the mechanical load.

Hi Ian,
No, I have not tried stainless steel shavings, however, I did get some
stainless steel scrub pads and stuffed around a dozen into the tubes back a
year or more ago. They lasted a couple of weeks. They did not surcum to
the heat, but the shock wave pounded them into small 1/4" lengths and blew
them out the end. However, I suspect they did not have the structural
integrity of a strip of stainless steel shavings, so, if I can locate a
source, I'll give it a try.
