Open full view...

Categories: Troubleshooting MillMax

This indexable endmill in and extension was running stable at the speed and depth of cut indicated by the green dot.  

The speed is in a clear chatter pocket at the reduced depth of cut.

The FRF showed a lot of flexibility.

To correct, increase the Process Damping in 10% increments until current speed just shows stable. in this case we went from 1.0 to 3.6mm. Generate the Dashboard
