I can see the problem with wide chip, yeah.
Specifically re: strings, though, I’ve always wondered whether—as a separate problem—it’d be possible to have an end mill or drill that dices long stringy chip into shards. Seems like it’d make operation/maintenance easier in some respects. Maybe a bit with two parts, where the tip (either end mill or drill) has counter rotation against teeth running down the rest of the bit, such that the chip gets sheared as it encounters the interface between the two parts?
