An Experimental Study on Suppression of Chatter Vibration with Different Helix Angles End-Mill

Abstract

In this study we attempted to suppress chatter vibration in end-milling of austenitic stainless steels with an end-mill having different helix angles. We showed there were two types of chatter vibration in end-milling with a conventional end-mill with regular helix angle. The two types of chatter vibration depend on the cutting speed. We detected these two types of chatter vibration by the developed monitoring method using laser Doppler vibrometers. We classified the two types of chatter vibration according to…
