2. Chip removal machining
The term "chip removal" is inappropriate in the case of composites, where machining produces powder rather than chips.
2.1 Shearing and punching
Shearing and punching, or die-cutting, are applicable to thin-gauge composite materials (up to 2.5 mm). The cutting tool must be particularly sharp. Use a vertically-descending guillotine-type shear with a hardened steel upper blade having a cutting gradient of around 0.7% in relation to the lower blade, with clearance set to a minimum. Erta (Tufnol brand) recommends a tool slope of 2% for shearing plate up to 2.5 mm.
