You should examine the nose radius, depth of cut, feed rate, and insert shape among other things to prevent chip jamming and increase productivity. Any tool's objective is to shatter the chip by altering its trajectory or curling.You can use the following suggestions or actions to control CNC chips.

 

Chipbreaker

The chipbreaker attached to or integrated into the cutting tool's cutting face is the most practical approach.

 

Coolant System

1. Install a high-flow, high-capacity coolant system with conveyors and an integrated chip flush.

2. Pick a coolant tank with an adjustable timing and an integrated oil skimmer.

 

Inserts & Tools

1. Used in conjunction with an insert geometry that has improved chip breaking performance.

2. Opt for highly stable tools.

 

Feed rate & Radius

1. Properly increase the feed rate and depth of cut.

2. The depth should be at least two thirds the size of the radius.

3. Reduce the normal nose radius.

 

Setup and Environment

1. Maintain the proper heat, temperature, and pressure.

2. Check the tool alignment and place the cutting tool at hip level.

 

Cutting speed

Try adjusting the cutting speed if other modifications are not making sense.

 

Programming

By altering the programming, chip management can also be made better.

 

The primary difficulties in metal cutting on a CNC lathe are chip removal and breakage, which affects the quality of finished CNC products.
