I *believe* this is the correct place to put this thread if not please excuse my lack of experience.

I am looking to build a "parts washing" basin for the aluminum parts that are coming off the machine. This will be used to rinse residual coolant and shavings off the product missed from initial blowing of compressed air.

I'm reaching somewhat of an issue here - to prevent shavings from going down the drain, whats the most cost efficient, DIY way of filtering through it?
