Machine tool having a chip collecting apparatus
 A chip collecting apparatus for a machine tool has two separate chip conveyors for chips of different materials. The chip collecting apparatus receives chips on fixed guide plates. Chips are washed from the fixed guide plates into a chip collecting area. In the chip collecting area is disposed a change-over plate for directing the chips from the guide plates onto either one of the chip conveyors. The change-over plate is pivotably moveable between different positions corresponding to the respective chip conveyors. In an alternative embodiment, only one chip conveyor is used, and the change-over plate is provided at the discharge end of the conveyor to discharge chips into either one of two chip collecting bins.
