  Chatter vibrations occur due to interaction between the dynamic deformations of the entire machine projected at the tool tip and metal cutting process which is influenced by material properties, tool geometry and cutting conditions. The magnitude of the cutting forces increase proportionally with the material hardness, depth of cut, feed rate and sometimes with the cutting speed. The direction of the cutting forces depend on the tool geometry, part features and direction of feed along the tool path. The cutting forces excite the structural dynamics of the machine causing vibrations between the tool and workpiece. The vibrations change the thickness of the chip, which starts oscillating close to one of the natural frequencies of the machine tool. The magnitude of the vibrations increase proportional to decrease in the stiffness and damping of the machine tool structure. If the depth of cut and spindle speed is not selected correctly, the vibrations grow and chatter occurs, which lead to poor surface finish, overloading of the tool and spindle with excessive dynamic forces. This paper and talk will present the mechanism of chatter, parameters which influence it and methods of predicting and avoiding chatter vibrations in practice
