I pulled my Y axis way cover off to clean and found this. I cleaned this out about 1 year ago when I first got this machine I only run this machine about 40 hours or so a month.
This is what it looks like with the chips cleaned out.
I find this to be a bad design the front and sides of the way cover is open on the bottom allowing chips under the way cover from the sides and front. This is what I made to try and fix this problem. I took some rubber sheet and built a series of dams to try and prevent the chips from getting back under the way cover. Time will tell how it works.
