Just get a Bromotrifluoromethane extinguisher (Halon 1301) for areas where swarf and chips can gather, and all will be well. I've personally used a CBrF3 extinguisher on several fully ignited systems (one jet engine, two transmissions, and one interior cabin fire involving vaporized JP5) with great success.
Wow, that's a lot of fires! Halon hasn't been produced in over 20 years, but it's still legal to use if you can find some; end of first section here.
