title = "Chip breaking in turning operations using CNC toolpaths",
abstract = "The most common method of chip breaking is to use inserts with special geometries to create stresses in the chip that cause it to break. In many cases, chip breaking inserts cannot break the chip reliably enough for long-term unattended machining, especially in finish turning operations. This paper will introduce the concept of using programmable CNC toolpaths for the specific purpose of chip breaking. Chip breaking using innovative CNC controlled toolpaths has been shown to provide effective chip control over a wide range of part geometries and in two different common materials. This method of chip control dramatically reduces the probability of a continuous chip enabling unattended machining.",
