  • Factor of Improvement Chip Control

(1) Increase Feed Rate (f)

When feed rate increases, chips become thick and chip control improves. (2) Decrease Side Cutting Edge (θ ) θ: θ:

Even if feed rate is the same, smaller side cutting edge angle makes chips thick and chip control improves.

(3) Decrease Nose Radius (R E )

Even if feed rate is the same, a smaller

nose radius makes chip thick and chip

control improves.

* Cutting force increases in proportion with

the length of the contact surface. Therefore,

a larger nose radius increases back force

which induces chattering. With the same

feed rate, a smaller nose radius produces a

rougher surface finish.

{Good: C type, D type

A type: Twines around the tool or workpiece, damages the machined surface and affects safety. Poor B type: Causes problems in the automatic chip conveyor and chipping occurs easily. E type: Causes spraying of chips, poor machined surface due to chattering, chipping, large cutting force and high temperatures.
