Why a Reamer Chatters
Reamer chatter usually comes from instability, too much overhang, poor alignment or incorrect cutting conditions.
Reamers: selection checklist
- Reduce overhang and improve workholding.
- Use the correct feed rather than rubbing the tool.
- Inspect the reamer and machine alignment.
How to choose the right option
- Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
- Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
- Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
