← TechnologyWhich outcome results when a lathe toolchatters during a cut on a slender metal shaft?
A)Surface finish degrades significantly✓
B)Cutting forces remain consistent
C)Material hardness uniformly declines
D)Machine vibrational damping increases
💡 Explanation
Chatter introduces self-excited vibrations involving mode coupling. Because resonance amplifies oscillations via positive feedback during machining on slender shafts, surface finish degrades. Therefore, poor surface finish results, rather than consistent cutting forces or improved damping.
