Has anyone made up some sort of bed washdown system for a VF series mill? We have a VF-4 that runs an aluminum job and face-milling produces a 55 gal barrel of chips every 3 pcs. We have to run the auger continuous but the chip buildup on the bed is a PITA. We do have TSC, 300 psi? and was thinking of making some sort of spray bar setup plumbed off the TSC to run possibly from that pump with a shutoff when not needed (when using TSC).
Any thoughts or ideas that anyone else has come up with?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. the chip auger outlet height is ridiculously too low... but the salesman did try to sell us their $4k chip lift..
