Method and device for the chip-removing production or machining of a workpiece with subsequent chip discharge

A method for the chip-removing production or machining of a workpiece by means of a machining tool in which method a liquid (20) which mixes and accumulates with chips (30) produced during the machining is used for lubricating and/or cooling during the machining, and in which the chips are discharged from the accumulation of liquid and chips, counter to a downhill force, along a discharge path having a surface (26) by means of a magnetic force, a return flow of the liquid carried away by the discharged chips occurring due to the downhill force,

• characterized in that the return flow is deflected out of the discharge path and the discharge path has at least one support withdrawal point (23) at which a supporting surface of the discharged chips is temporarily withdrawn from said chips,
• wherein the return-flowing liquid feeds into a return-flow chamber (25) via one or more openings (22), said return-flow chamber being located below the discharge path surface, and the discharge path is separated from said one or more openings (22) by a barrier.
