Comparative study of stability predictions in micro-milling by using cutting force models and direct cutting force measurements

Chatter vibration in micro-milling is critical for the breakage of cutting tools. Therefore, dynamic stability important and chatter should be avoided. This paper presents a comparative study between two models prediction chatter. The difference source forces. first model uses mathematical force while second direct measured Both are solved time domain same criteria applied. results showed that using forces was better agreement with fast Fourier transform analyses.
