Abstract

In the previous three chapters, regenerative chatter theory has been developed with the objective of finding solutions to chatter problems. This has involved the use of simplified models that have allowed the most significant parameters to be determined. It has been shown that any existing machining operation may be improved by reducing the width of cut, changing speed and selecting a machining configuration that best utilises the mode directions. A range of high-performance multi-tooth cutters were investigated and the reasons for their improvement determined. In this chapter, we turn our attention to the machine itself. Can machine tools be designed that have improved performance, and/or can existing machines be modified so that their performance is improved?
