← TechnologyWhich outcome results when using excessive downfeed on a CNC lathe?
A)Increased surface finish quality
B)Workpiece hardening at cut
C)Chatter development on cuts✓
D)Precise chip formation control
💡 Explanation
Chatter develops because excessive downfeed overloads the cutting tool, magnifying vibrations through the **machine tool resonance**; therefore, chatter ruins surface finish, increasing tool wear, rather than improving part quality, as lighter cuts would mitigate this.
