Technology

Which risk increases on a CNC lathe when vibration dampening fails during high-speed machining of hardened steel?

A)Surface finish worsens significantly
B)Coolant flow rate decreases sharply
C)Spindle motor overheats prematurely
D)Automatic tool changer malfunctions often

💡 Explanation

Chatter increases as damping diminishes because unstable vibrations induce resonant frequencies within the tool-workpiece system. Therefore, surface finish will worsen dramatically rather than the coolant or ATC functioning, especially in hardened material machining.
