Abstract
A chip flushing apparatus for connection to a machine tool for flushing chips of debris from cutting operations performed by the machine tool. The flushing apparatus includes a header bar having outlet means for dispensing fluid to a chip receiving area of the machine tool for transporting the chips to a recovery box. A fluid flow deflector is positioned near the outlets of the header to deflect the fluid streams into a laminar flow across the fluid receiving area. A removable tank is mounted below the receiving area to receive the flushing fluid. The tank is wheeled for convenient transport.
