CHIPREMOVAL(Continued…)
Chipconveyor
1. During operation, metal chips and used coolant
drop directly into a sloped trough, or flow into it
fromthemachine’srun‐offsurfaces.Coolantthen
flows down the trough and through a filtering

Stackingstock
1. Correct stock nesting is essential for proper
clamping of the vises and nesting fixture. It is
important that nesting vise clamping pressure be
transmittedtoeverystackedpiece.Sometimesthis
can be more easily accomplished by manually
joggingthestack.
2. Properstackingofroundstockisimportantbecause
saw band breakage may occur if round nested

methods,eitherinequalrows(4x4x4)ornested
