Which outcome occurs on a CNC lathe when stick-slip friction exceeds hydraulic damping?

A)Chatter formation on the workpiece
B)Increased tool wear accelerates exponentially
C)Excessive thermal expansion of spindle
D)Complete loss of positional servo control

💡 Explanation

Chatter occurs because stick-slip friction overcomes hydraulic damping, exciting resonant frequencies within the lathe's structure, therefore leading to surface undulations and noise rather than alternative results involving servo, tool wear or increased thermal effects.
