Abstract
A template provides a way to quickly compare competing machine tools to find which ones can perform a planned job. If a desired cut is a 10mm-deep, full slot in 7075 aluminum using a 4-flute endmill at 20,000 rpm, at least four ways exist to cut without chatter. Working backward through the mathematics produces a template the measured FRF cannot cross. If a template is produced for slightly different cutting conditions, the result will be different. If the desired cutting conditions are well known, the template provides a quick way to check which machine/tool combinations can perform the cut. If a number of different cuts are required, the templates for each cut can be superimposed to verify a tool can make them all.
