short- /long-chipping
Adhesion wear (also known as attrition wear) occurs mainly at low machining temperatures on the tool's chip face. This can affect long-chipping and short-chipping workpiece materials including steel, aluminum and cast iron. This mechanism often forms a built-up edge (BUE) between the chip and the cutting edge. In this process, successive layers from the chip are welded and hardened, becoming part of the edge.

easily chipped/not easily chipped
I've made a few enquiries here in Norway on this one, and I now know what it means, but don't have a technical translation for you. Hopefully this entry can jog someone's memory!
Metal can be "brittle" which means it will chip easily when drilled; or it can be "non-brittle" allowing drilling without the danger of chipping.
I'll keep on with my investigations until I see that the post is closed! Sorry not to be more helpful just yet!
