OPERATION
The chip drawer shown in Figure 99 catches
swarf and metal chips during the machining
process. It easily slides open to provide access to
swarf during cleanup.
Also, the chip drawer contains a screen that
allows runoff cutting fluid to drain back into the
cutting fluid tank.
Chip Drawer
If pulled out quickly and more than half of the
way, the drawer could fall out and hit your
feet, causing serious injury. Therefore, open
the drawer slowly and avoid opening it more
than half of the way.
