Spindle speed sound trick, 8 years late to the party
I ran the same aluminum job for 3 years at our shop in Toledo, and the chatter was always there, I just thought it was normal. Last Tuesday my new lead handed me a $20 stethoscope and told me to listen to the spindle while bumping RPMs up by 500 at a time. Turns out my speeds were way too low the whole time, the sweet spot cut the noise in half and doubled tool life. Has anyone else tried a sound-based approach instead of just trusting the book values?
