Bachelor thesis deals with the creation of the optimal divided chip in the turning technology. The material for production of the steering shaft is steel C35RC suitable for forming and turning from which semi-finished products are produced at horizontally forming presses. They are machined at the production robotized line where the problem with the undivided chip arises. For the specified set of cutting conditions the uses the cutting tools which aren’t very suitable for the given types of technological operations. The recommended values of cutting conditions are different from the specified set of cutting conditions. The result will be choice of new-cutting tools for turning technological operations to shape short divided chip
