For what its worth, I have a friend who has the Jet mini and he built a
table that has a hole in the table under the middle part of the lathe.
75% of chips fall through that hole into a bucket he keeps under the
hole. A wood shield around the back of the lathe keeps another 25% of
the chips confined to the table that can be pushed into the hole into
the bucket. He turns mostly smaller things so the system works great to
keep the mess down.
