Default Endless lathe chips (re-adjusted the clutch on a Clausing 6913 lathe)

How can I ensure
that this chip breaks?


Use a cutter with a chipbreaker groove. "Stringy" chips ARE dangerous,
and pretty easily avoided.

They're not only dangerous when flying around the chuck, but also to the
operator who has to clean up afterwards.
