TELLTALE CHIPS
Chips are the best indicator of correct feed force. Monitor the chip formation and adjust feed accordingly.
Thin or powdered chips – increase the feed rate or reduce the band speed.
Burned heavy chips – reduce the feed rate and / or band speed.
Curly silvery and warm chips – optimum feed rate and band speed.
