Abstract
A cutting and dust collecting housing which encloses a cutter main shaft and a cutter forms a closed space where cutting, cooling and chip collecting are performed. The pressurized cold air introduced into the housing, partly is blown from first cold air outlet holes to make an air curtain around the cutter, and partly is blown from second cold air outlet holes to cool the cutter and at the same time to strip cutting chips off the cutter. The cutting chips are floated in the housing and then discharged therefrom by a vacuum type cutting chip sucking device.
