Which outcome occurs when machining aluminum at a fixed spindle speed, increasing the tool's flute number?

A)Elevated cutting force per revolution
B)Reduced chip load per flute
C)Increased risk of tool chatter
D)Lower aluminum workpiece surface finish

💡 Explanation

A higher flute number causes reduced chip load per cutting edge because the feed rate's divided among more flutes operating simultaneously. Therefore, the chip thickness decreases, rather than increased forces or chatter which occurs under different conditions
