Just a thought, If I were milling a keyway with a slot drill or whatever, and used a cold air blast to remove chips in the slot, which direction should I aim the nozzle? If I set it to blow towards the front of the cutter, I can't see what good it would do. If it was pointed from behind the cut, it would have a good path to clear out the chips, but perhaps blow them back into the cut. The chance of cutter breakage would increase greatly. Any thoughts on this? Perhaps at a tangent?
