Micro-milling utilizes miniature end mills to fabricate complex shapes at high rotational speeds. One of the challenges in micro-machining is regenerative chatter, which results in severe tool wear and reduced part quality. The high rotational speeds of micro-milling cause changes in dynamics; and,

โฆ Synopsis
Plunge milling operations are used to remove excess material in boring cylinders, roughing pockets, dies and mold cavities. This paper presents a frequency domain, chatter stability prediction theory for plunge milling. The regenerative chip thickness is modeled as a function of lateral, axial and torsional vibrations. The stability of the plunge milling is formulated as a fourth order eigenvalue problem by relating the regenerative chip thickness, cutting forces and torque, and the structural modes of the cutter. The stability lobes are predicted analytically from the eigenvalue solution. The stability lobes are experimentally proven by conducting over one hundred plunge milling tests.

Accurate prediction of the onset of chatter is difficult in designing and operating a rolling mill. Both the lack of precise rolling process models and analytical methods for the investigation of mill stability have forced designers and users to rely on experience and trial and error, which are time
