Chip Breaking
This option is used in several machining cycles, with different purposes and behaviours.
Please use the tree on the right side of the screen.
Cycles: Roughing, //Roughing, Balanced Roughing / TurnyuGO
 | The Strategy page now includes a new dialog for Chip breaking, grouping all parameters for better comprehension. |

Definition for Roughing //Roughing, Balanced Roughing
In order to break the chip while turning, we created those options that cut the toolpath according to a certain increment (Length of cut). The tool motion is stopped with a dwell value that can be expressed in seconds or revolutions. |  |  |
There are two types of leadin in the chip-break mode: linear or circular. A Retract distance enables the tool to retract at each step. Linked to this option is a new Coefficient of feedrate reduction, defined in the page Options, to accelerate this retract motion. |  |  |
Linear | Circular |
Definition for TurnyuGO
A retract to 45°is utilized to manage chip breaking. As for roughing, we use the length of cut to run the retract and a retract value. Leadin can be done either linear or circular. |  |  |
