Reading Chips

When operating a high production circular carbide saw quite a bit of process information from the cut chips on the shop floor can be gathered. One fact which is not intuitive if one has never thought about it is the change of the chip thickness. When measuring the chip thickness with a caliper the value is usually higher than the set chip load per tooth! …
