Chip Breaker
A chipbreaker or chip breaker is a contour just behind the cutting part of a Cutting tool (machining), cutting tool that directs away any chips that are generated. Metal chips are hot, sharp, and can spin at high speeds, especially if they get caught in machinery. Breaking up the chips into smaller pieces is an important Safety, safety feature since long chips that get caught in people and machinery can lead to serious Work accident, workplace accidents. It can also damage Tool, tools, Workpiece, workpieces and Machine tool, machinery, and make removal of the finished product more difficult. Chips can be particularly challenging with ductile materials. Many geometries can be used depending on the given cutting conditions. For example, a high-positive rake angle will help to make shorter chips. On many Cutting ceramic, ceramic cutting tools, the chipbreaker is sandwiched between the cutting plate and the Milling clamp, clamping jaw, as this eliminates the need for a wide variety ...
