I Hate Cleaning Chips Out Of T-Slots

[FanMan]

Nice trays... but is that a vise handle or the locking wheel from a submarine???

....it would take me several months of daily use to even start getting comfortable with Fusion-360.

and YES I have tried all the online and youtube stuff, including Lars Christensen.
It just doesn't stick!
Most likely because I only have a few hours a week for it. By the time I try the next step I have lost any previous knowledge.

One more thing I'll have to put off 'til retirement.

I'm with you. Really struggling to learn Fusion360. Pencil and paper is too easy and accessible.

If only I could feed those sketches into the 3D-printer!

very nice! I used a couple of cheap baking trays from the dollar store. Those plus some shields help in place with magnets means that it takes me 30s-1min to clean the mill up and put the chips into the appropriate scrap container. Keeps the area around the mill fairly clean too - a big deal if you're using a face mill or a coarse tooth rougher in aluminium!
