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.
