What would be the likely outcome if chip removal is not effectively managed?

When chip removal is not effectively managed during milling operations, the build-up of chips can interfere with the cutting process. Chips that accumulate around the cutting tool can lead to increased friction and heat. This environment is detrimental to the longevity of the tool because excessive heat can cause the tool to wear out faster or even break. Moreover, a hazardous chip environment can lead to poor cutting conditions, increasing the likelihood of tool breakage due to unexpected stress or fatigue. Therefore, the proper management of chip removal is crucial to prevent tool damage and ensure efficient machining operations.
