I am trying to help a guy who is opening a machine shop. Which is kind of comical since I have no experience in commercial machining.

He has a job machining peek plastic. And has a problem with long strings of the plastic jamming the chip conveyor. Now I am a novice but do know enough when confronted with a problem the first thing to do is find out what others have done. So how do you deal with strings of plastic?

When manual machining plastics I just pause feeding te avoid having one long chip. But maybe there is a better way. This is being done on a cnc turning center.

I run a shop vac with a 2.5" line lock hose. Noisy, yes.
