The control of chip formation is a key aspect of modern turning operations, as improper chip formation can negatively affect tool life, surface quality, and overall machining efficiency. One approach to improving chip control is the integration of a chip breaker into the geometry of the cutting tool. This study examines the impact of chip-breaking geometry on the performance of monolithic rotary tools in active rotation turning.
