Study of Chip Formation in Metal Cutting

Alfred A. Kuebler

Study of chip formation during metal machining is accomplished by converting a standard horizontal milling machine into a planer, providing an auxiliary light source and photographing the cutting action through a microscope. A single point tool is mounted on the overarm support and the table feed is used to move the work along under the tool. The camera is focused on the tool tip and in this way the cutting of various metals is studied.
