MSC MillMax dashboard and tool. Every machinist knows about milling tool chatter. How it sounds. What it does to surface finish. How it diminishes tool life. When it happens, the first reaction is to turn down the feed rate. While that usually works, there is often a much better solution where the milling process stabilizes at significantly higher machining rates.
