    4020 chip conveyor?

    Does this exist for a 4020? Looking at the machine and sheet metal layout, it doesnt seem possible...or is it? I am not enjoying squeeging out chips all the time.... Is there a name brand or model anyone is using?

    Thanks!

    The chip conveyors or augers where only available on new order machines. To field retrofit these devices would require MAJOR sheet metal replacements as well as the electrical relays and contactors with associated wiring and special designed coolant tanks.
    The cost factor would be out of sight! Spending your money for a chiropractor would be cheaper for the long haul.

    Yeah, I bought one for $300 thinking it wouldn't be that hard to hook up. Its been sitting out back here for almost 2 years now. Maybe one of these days.
