Norwegian term or phrase: kort / lang sponet
This has to do with various metals, the term used is 'kortsponende og langsponende', refering to the materials suitable for drilling. 'short and long metal shavings'??? Thanx. Becky

English translation:short- /long-chipping
Explanation:
Adhesion wear (also known as attrition wear) occurs mainly at low machining temperatures on the tool's chip face. This can affect long-chipping and short-chipping workpiece materials including steel, aluminum and cast iron. This mechanism often forms a built-up edge (BUE) between the chip and the cutting edge. In this process, successive layers from the chip are welded and hardened, becoming part of the edge.

agree  Kent Johnson (X): Some metals, like cast iron, fly off the workface in short chips. Most kinds of steel peel off in long shavings, rather like the coarse steel wool pads used to scrub pots. A "chip-breaker" is often ground along the top edge of the tool to prevent this.

Explanation:
I've made a few enquiries here in Norway on this one, and I now know what it means, but don't have a technical translation for you. Hopefully this entry can jog someone's memory!
Metal can be "brittle" which means it will chip easily when drilled; or it can be "non-brittle" allowing drilling without the danger of chipping.
I'll keep on with my investigations until I see that the post is closed! Sorry not to be more helpful just yet!
