← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a lathe's tool holder vibrates excessively due to worn bearings during high-speed aluminum machining?
A)Chatter marks on the workpiece✓
B)Immediate motor overload shutdown
C)Elevated tool bit temperatures solely
D)Uniform surface finish improvement
💡 Explanation
Chatter occurs due to self-excited vibrations; the worn bearings allow excessive movement; therefore, the cutting tool cuts inconsistently, leaving chatter marks, rather than the vibrations solely raising bit temperatures or uniformly improving finish; motor overload is a separate issue.
