So I finally get my machines looking just like all the you tube videos but now what to do with the bales of 2" long 17-4 needles? anyone have any clever ways of moving the light, dry chips out of a vmc (auger not conveyor)? Other than the guy with the long arms and a pitch fork...
 
For dey chip we fit a 5hp shop vac head on the cover of a empty 45 gal of oil so we just use or the shop vac with a 2 inch hose and get all the chip into the drum without difficulty

Shop Vacs work wonders as said above.

Sell the chips to the scrapyard and put that money toward a conveyor :)
