Chip Screen Spider

Auger-driven screen sweeper for select Haas mills.

Chips can collect over the screen holes beside the auger, blocking coolant from draining back into the reservoir. The turning auger drives the Chip Screen Spider, sweeping those chips off the screen and into the auger instead of leaving them to be cleared by hand.

INSTALLATION

Uses one existing screen hole

Tap the specified existing 3/16-inch hole 1/4-20. The included threaded rod serves as the axle so the spider can rotate as the auger pushes its arms.

Correct mounting location is critical. Installing it in a different hole position may break the spider. Remove the spider before servicing or removing the auger.
