I cut a 32 Oz. plastic Gatorade bottle in half, and use it as a scoop.
I also use the cheap 50 cent chip brushes from Home Depot.
A lot of Machinists and Machine Shop owners frown on using compressed air to clean machines with.
They claim chips will get blown into places they aren't welcome, like under the table, into crannies, and into electrical control panels.
I don't know if it's fact or an old wives tale, but I usually try to avoid using compressed air, and blowing chips around.
