    We use two 35 gal plastic trash cans one inside the other with the inner one having a bunch of holes drilled in the bottem to let the oil drain out into the outer can and the chips stay in the inner can. Make sure they are heavy duty or they will break on you after time. It's not the best solution but it works.

    What we do is dump all our chips in a 55 gallon drums. The containers are on rollable lip carts. We drilled small holes in the bottom of the 55 gallon drums. We drilled and put a drain plug in the rollable carts and simply drain it as it gets full. Easy money.

    Chip spinners get alot more oil back out of the chips. Cutting oil is too expensive to be loosing lots of it through your chips.
