Which outcome occurs when a CNC lathe's toolpath deviates during stainless-steel machining?

A)Increased surface roughness
B)Complete machine shutdown
C)Reduced tool wear rate
D)Improved dimensional accuracy

💡 Explanation

Increased surface roughness results because undesired vibration causes chatter. Instabilities excite the tool and workpiece at resonant frequencies, causing poor surface finish due to the self-excited vibration effect, rather than reduced tool wear or dimensional accuracy, therefore damaging product tolerances.
