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. tool paths. Because material is removed layer-by-layer in 2.5D

This article focuses on the effect of vibration during the milling process and its influence on part quality. The cutting force depends on the chip thickness (which depends on the feed per tooth and tooth angle in the cut), chip width (the axial depth in milling), material properties and tool geometry. The tool may wear out.

Variables such as the machining environment, machine stability, cutting tool wear, and accuracy and operator experience impact micron-level machining results. The opening image shows a 300- × 195-millimeter (M333, HRC50) part produced on a high-speed mill using a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tool continuously for 80 hours.
