A pneumatic system is coupled to the unloadingapparatus whereby air flow acts on the workpiece and causes the workpiece to exit thespindle and travel to the unloading apparatus. The unloading apparatus extends into amachining chamber of the lathe to couple to the spindle. A downstream end of theunloading apparatus is configured to create a venturi effect. A workpiece receiving tray islocated downstream of the unloading apparatus. After exiting the unloading apparatusthe workpiece is directed against a damper. A safety door is located between theunloading apparatus and the damper. The unloading device has a footprint of a limiteddimension permitting use of the unloading device with a chip conveyor.
