In a chip-forming machining operation improved results accrue from imparting to the chip - in the course of its formation - a longitudinally extending bulge or thickened portion which significantly stiffens the chip and desirably modifies its form. Locating the bulge adjacent the central part of the chip influences a ring-shaped form of chip, while locating the bulge adjacent an edge of the chip results in a cylindrical form of chip having a fairly constant radius of curvature and a great relatively constant pitch. The cutting tool which provides this stiffened chip has a groove or concavity at the locus where the thickened portion of the chip is desired. |
