Chip Jar - EU

[PMST]

Hi!

I tear through chip jar lids pretty quickly, Souri is dispatching one to me, but i want something sturdier that will last.

Has anyone got any up to date links on good replacements in the EU? Maybe plastic body with wooden top for example.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, my English is not the best. By "chip jar" do you mean the chip catcher? If so, I would like to inform you that I am currently experimenting with a separator. Been using it for two weeks and so far I am satisfied. The chip does not fall down into the container because it is too light, but it does stick to the top and can be easily removed.:

Hey there Any chip jar should be fine to be honest…
The problem arises when opening the lid while the suction is on. This creates a high tension to the lid which eventually will rip. I’ve also ripped one before.
Best turn off the suction before opening the lid. This saves you so much money and it works!

It would be impossible to open mine whilst vacuum is on, i have a huge vacuum as it is for multiple lathes, but its strong enough to rip these plastic lids off every few months! Made a wooden solution for now, not perfect but will do.

Interesting, will look into this

i just made one from pvc pipe and top and bottom from aluminium. this is for vacuum on DMM which is much stronger than anything you need. for VR you can basically use any container.
