Retrieving items dropped in chip pan

[rimcanyon]

I can reach in and get things that are near the front of the tray, but I will get my arm greasy. I cannot reach in and get stuff at the back of the tray.

The gap between the saddle drive rod and the manual forward/reverse rod is 2.586 inches. My arm measures 5.586 inches, just about where I wear my watch. Beyond that is a tight fit.

Must be a square dial thing. I have lots of room to reach into the chip pan on my round dial machine.

Turns out the drip tray on my Graziano SAG14 gors out the back. So if I take the lathe hole, once it's up against the wall, the drip tray is going nowhere
