A while back i added a nice rolling stand to my import metal cutting saw and raised its height significantly in the process.
But the chips still made a mess everywhere.
So i used 1/4" plywood to make a chip pan that slides in from the side and sits on the stand. The side walls on the cutting side extend as high as possible without interfering with the material or the saw.
Seems to catch about 98% of chips! A small handful still apparently follow the blade and fall off at either band wheel.
Sealed with polyurethane to avoid oil stains and simplify clean up.
