Agroove or gutter is worn near the nose and forces tlie chipto curl more and more sharply as the wear increases and be-cause the chip is highly stressed tlie ribbon breaks into smallsections instead of passing freely over the t(K)l at approx-imately its original top angles. The wear on the enteringside near the nose is also an imjwrtant contributing factorparticularly near the end of tlie cut and both effects areshown in Fig. 2.
