The chip drawer shown in Figure 96 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 run-off coolant to drain back into the
reservoir.

the drawer slowly and avoid opening it more
than halfway.
