How Process Damping Impacts Milling Stability

Modern Machine Shop

Because the tool-toolholder-spindle-machine is not rigid, the tool vibrates in response to the cutting force and chatter can occur. Chatter exhibits large forces and poor surface finish, so it should be avoided. You can use models to select spindle speed-axial depth combinations that avoid chatter, while meeting design tolerances. These milling stability maps, which separate stable spindle speed-axial depth combinations from those that produce chatter, are generated using a measurement of the to
