Explain why continuous chips are not necessarily desirable.
Explain why continuous chips are not necessarily desirable.
Explanation of Solution
In computer-controlled machine tools, continuous chips are not preferred. This is because they can get tangled around the tool holder, fixture or even the workpiece. It can also get tangled into the chip disposal system. To clear these chips, it is possible that the operation may be needed to halted.
This problem can be resolved if we use chip breakers. The cutting speed can be changed, or the feed, depth of cut can be varied. It can also be solved by using cutting fluids.
