On production VMCs, they
blast a stream of coolant into the work area at 200 PSI, and that sure
takes care of chip removal. But what can a poor fellow like me do?

You'd be amazed at what a lamilar stream of coolant at 15-20psi will do.

You aren't constrained to a single nozzle. Use as many as you need,
primarily trailing the work (except the one _actually_ cooling the bit).

You just have to shield the work area so the coolant stays in the work
area.

If you need to suck the stuff up, consider a venturi vacuum, ported back
to the coolant tank (on the work side of the filter sock GGG!

There's a reason that CNC centers are often fully-enclosed G.
