I finally got some time to do a couple upgrades to my Sharp VMC. I have been having problems with chips sticking to the conveyor and then falling in the coolant sump. I designed an air manifold to blow low pressure air on the conveyor to clean the chips so they drop in the chip hopper.
This is the simple manifold.
The manifold attached to the removable panel at the back of the conveyor.
I had to add this rubber skirt because it was blowing chips outside the hopper.
