Abstract
The use of stability lobe diagrams in every machine is discussed. Stability lobe diagram summarizes cutting performance in metal-removal operations. Every part of the machine structure plays a role in the specific appearance of the stability lobe diagram, including the length and diameter of the tool, number of cutting edges, and drawbar force. All stability lobe diagrams have similar characteristics, details differ for each application because assembled structures differ. The stability lobe diagram controls the performance of milling and many other metal removal operations. Competitive shops need stability data for all their tools in all their machines. Stability lobe diagrams are a powerful key to unlocking the full potential of machine tools.
