A method for producing discontinuous chips during the machining of a work piece by a cutting tool is provided. The method includes the steps of engaging the cutting tool into the workpiece to produce a continuous chip and directing a stream of cryogen toward the continuous chip, so as to rapidly cool the continuous chip and fracture the continuous chip into the discontinuous chips.

A method for producing discontinuous chips during the machining of a workpiece by a cutting tool, comprising: engaging the cutting tool with the workpiece to produce a continuous chip; and directing a stream of cryogen toward the continuous chip at a position spaced from the cutting tool and away from the workpiece, so as to rapidly cool the continuous chip and fracture the continuous chip into the discontinuous chips and so as to avoid damage to the workpiece caused by rapid cooling thereof by the stream of cryogen.
