Vibration


High radial cutting forces due to:

Vibrations or chattermarks which are caused by the tooling or the tool mounting. Typical for internal machining with boring bars.

Cause

a) Unsuitable entering angle.

b) Nose radius is too large.

c) Unsuitable edge rounding, or negative chamfer.

d) Excessive flank wear on the cutting edge.

Solution

a) Select a larger entering angle (κr = 90°).

b) Select a smaller nose radius.

c) Select a grade with a thin coating, or an uncoated grade.

d) Select a more wear resistant grade or reduce speed.
