Hey there everyone, I was wondering if there is a chip aguer attachment that can be resonably purchased or aquired to be fitted on a Hardinge Quest 6/42 Lathe. The problem lies herin.... The shop where I work just bought a BRAND NEW lathe but it doesn't come with a means of evacuating the chips other than a VERY small opening where a conveyor is supposed to go. The three other hardinge lathes that they own have a moderatly generous opening for the twisties and chips, so they didn't realize the problem until the machine was on the floor. And the sales as well as service people just shrugged their shoulders and said "It was meant to have a conveyor"
(Well DUHH !! ) Now we are left with pulling the chips out of an opening the size of an envelope. So if there are any suggestions, we would be appreciative.

Thanks,
Janos
