    Looking for cleaning suggestions

    Cleaning the narrow space between the bottom of the mill and the chip tray is difficult. Chips can build up and slow down the draining of coolant back to the sump.
    Currently just using a narrow rod to try and drag out the chips, if you have a better idea would like to hear your method.

    I use a piece of hose attached to my coolant nozzle, and just wash the chips down into a screen.
