I am finally up to no good, running like a mad man in a sea of aluminum chips...I sure wish i would have gotten this horizontal long ago. Thing is crazy hungry for aluminum and im not even pushing it. Its going to be in real trouble when my 5/8 milling chuck gets here...
Problem...
I cant seem to run more than about 1/2 hr before i need to empty out the 40gallon chip bucket. Program is 5 hours long and i want to be able to run lights out. I am filling a 4' cube box every shift and dont have a bunch of room for a dumpster, or a forklift to move chip bins away from the machine. Also, something i can put a coolant drain in would be a plus. I am going thru allot of it at the molment, just dumping it with the chips. I have about 6000lbs of chips to make.
What do you guys use for a chip bin on your horizontals?
