Abstract:
A CNC apparatus and method of operating the CNC apparatus is provided in which the CNC machine additionally controls positionable air nozzles that can be used to provide a customized delivery of air to the cutting tool and substrate thereby minimizing damage and wear to the tool and preventing thermal damage of the substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
A process of operating a CNC machine comprising the steps of:\n providing a substrate to be cut; engaging the substrate with a rotating cutting tool controlled by a CNC machine, the position of at least one of the cutting tool axis or vector direction relative to the substrate changing as the substrate is cut; directing a stream of air from a nozzle to a leading edge of the rotary cutting tool; and moving the nozzle in a synchronized manner relative to the movement of the cutting tool axis, thereby maintaining a continuous flow of air in a desired orientation to the cutting tool.
