Milling instability, or chatter, is one factor that limits material removal rates, because the stable depth of cut is restricted by the system dynamics. Using stability maps, however, stable combinations of spindle speed and axial depth of cut can be selected. Larger stable axial depths of cut are generally obtained at higher spindle speeds. A second primary limitation to high material removal rates is tool wear.
