Chatter is a type of intensive self-excited vibration commonly encountered in machining. It reduces productivity and precision, and is more noticeable in the machining of difficult-to-cut alloys like hardened steel. In such cases chatter causes excessive tool wear, especially flank wear, which in turn affects the stability of the cutting edge leadi
