Abstract: A scrap removing and tool cooling device includes a cooling air conduit adapted to be disposed in a housing of a machine tool and extending in an axial direction parallel to a tool spindle of the machine tool. The cooling air conduit includes an inlet formed in the housing for introducing cooling air therein, and an outlet passing through a front end wall of the housing. A hood member includes a rear surrounding wall engaging the front end wall of the housing and extending to surround and be spaced apart from a front holding end of the tool spindle with a first distance so as to cooperate with the front end wall to define a chamber to communicate with the outlet, and a front surrounding wall extending forwardly from the rear surrounding wall and surrounding and spaced apart from the front holding end with a second distance smaller than the first distance so as to cooperate with the front holding end to define a blowing outlet to communicate with the chamber.
