Anyone got a good guess as to what happened? Almost looks like a magnesium fire! Wow

Thats what happens when you don't keep the mag chips cleaned out. Notice the block of stock isn't burned away, just the chips.
The boards in the back "look" like they might be ok!

I dont think it was magnesium. If it was it should have burned right through the bottom of the chip pan IMO
It was magnisium! Seen it happen before. sometimes the chips light up and burn so fast that it dosen't light the part up. Although that isn't what happend here.
The part probably wasn't big enough to burn thru the sub plate.
Don't confuse magnisium with thermite. Thermite throws its heat out hot and quick magnisium has to get its fuel (oxidizer) from the atmosphere. Thermite has it built into its makeup so it can burn alot hotter and faster thus giving it its ability to burn thru metal quickly.
Boy that would be a great platform for a garage setup and DIY!
