Machining magnesium parts is risky business. The small chips and fine dust generated during cutting are highly flammable and pose a serious fire risk if not properly handled. These particles are commonly removed from the machine tool by means of a vacuum extraction system, in some cases using a hood mounted near the cutting tool to collect particles as soon as they are produced. Dry machining or use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in conjunction with this extraction method allow chips to be recycled and can eliminate secondary part cleaning operations. However, auxiliary collection devices hamper both tool changes and machine high speed movements.
