Chip Thinning for Increased Metal Removal Rates in CNC Machining In today’s competitive machined component market, companies seeking to get more out of existing CNC Machines constantly look for ways to increase Metal Removal Rates (MRR) i.e. removing more metal in less time. One of the best ways to increase MRR is through more aggressive spindle speeds and feed rates. To accomplish this, it takes more than simply turning up the parameters in the CNC program – one must account for chip formation. Creating proper metal chips and getting them out of the way of the cutting tool is critical to...
