The science of Machining Dynamics is
the vibration or frequency of the tool point self-generated
during machining often resulting in chatter.
Understanding Machining Dynamics will have the SINGLE GREATEST IMPACT on
your milling operations

To begin to understand machining dynamics, you must recognize that the cutting tool is part of an
entire cutting system
![Page 4: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

The cutting tool is gripped in a
toolholder
![Page 5: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

The toolholder is pulled into a
spindle
![Page 6: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The spindle is rotating on
bearings and is mounted into a the headstock
![Page 7: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The headstock slides up and down
on guide ways

Force is applied when a tooth of the tool makes
contact with the workpiece
![Page 10: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The flexibility of the system allows it to
deflect. The amount of the deflection, or the
amplitude, is determined by the force applied
which is in proportion to the depth of cut
![Page 11: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When the tooth releases the tool then rebounds, or responds, back in the opposite direction, past the center line. Think of
Newton’s third law of motion, “For every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction”
![Page 12: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Then the tool continues to vibrate back and forth until it is fully dissipated. The rate and duration of the vibration is the tool
point’s natural frequency
![Page 13: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An example of natural frequency is to hang a
ruler over the edge of a table and flick the end with your finger. The
ruler will vibrate at its natural frequency
![Page 14: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The vibration is not allowed to fully dissipate. The next tooth impacts the workpiece and the process starts all over
again. For example a four flute tool, running at
15,000 RPM, will have 1000 impacts per second
![Page 15: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
There is an up and back vibration and the tool is also rotating. If not perfectly in sync each tooth
will impact the workpiece at different points within the up and back cycle.
If the rotating tool tooth passing frequency is not perfectly in sync with the back and forth natural frequency, each tooth will impact the part at a
different depth, changing the force applied
![Page 16: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Here is the programmed chip thickness that is provided by the
cutting tool manufacturer for maximum tool life
![Page 17: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

If the tool rotation is not in sync one tooth will have a
much smaller “instantaneous “
chip thickness
![Page 18: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4/18/2010
Another tooth will have a much larger instantaneous chip
thickness
![Page 19: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Tool Life
This excessive instantaneous chip thickness will cause
premature tool failure
![Page 20: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Energy Use
The excessive instantaneous chip thickness will also increase spindle load and energy
consumption
![Page 21: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
One revolution of the cutter looks something like this. These rapid frequency change caused by the chip thickness variation results in audible
chatter or feedback like a microphone
![Page 22: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Because the unequal cuts leave a wavy surface, each subsequent pass
creates even greater chip thickness variations and the chatter gets much,
much worse. We call this regenerative chatter
![Page 23: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The BlueSwarf® Tool Dashboard™ enables users to determine the maximum stable speeds, cutting depths
and feed rates for any milling tool in any material
We do this by measuring the tool point and synchronizing the tooth passing frequency (RPM) with the cutting system’s natural frequency
![Page 24: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Results
• Up to 5X increase in metal removal rate• DOUBLE tool life• Reduce energy consumption by up to 75%Plus• Improved Surface Finishes• Reduced Maintenance Costs• Lower Scrap Rates

Any change to any component of the cutting system will change the tool point frequency and its performance
Factors Include:•Cutter Length•Cutter Diameter•Cutter Projection•Number of Teeth•Spacing of Teeth•Tool Coating•Workpiece Material•Gripping Force of Toolholder•Weight of Toolholder•Run-out•Imbalance•Drawbar Force•Bearing Preload…and many more
![Page 26: Introduction to Machining Dynamics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/548eaa57b4795987598b4715/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
No paper speed and feed chart can
accurately predict the performance of every
different cutting system combination and its unique tool
point frequency
