Bymachinetool

On a lathe machine, the terms cutting depth (ap), S, and F are the three main cutting parameters you must know. 1. Depth of Cut (ap) Meaning: How deep the tool cuts into the workpiece in one pass. Unit: millimeters (mm). Typical values: Roughing (removing material fast) → 2–5 mm Finishing (for smooth surface) →…

How to Prevent Machine Tool Vibration When Machining Parts

Bymachinetool

Machining vibration is a common problem that affects part quality, tool life, and machine performance. To effectively avoid and control it, a comprehensive approach is necessary. 1. Increase the Rigidity of the Machine and System Machine rigidity is key to resisting deformation and vibration. Increasing rigidity effectively suppresses vibrations caused by cutting forces. Bed and…
