← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a lathe's tool post excessively vibrates during a high-speed turning operation?
A)Surface finish degrades substantially✓
B)Coolant system filter overloads
C)Drive motor bearing overheating
D)Hydraulic chuck pressure fluctuates
💡 Explanation
Excessive vibrations cause chatter, implementing self-excited oscillations between the cutting tool and workpiece because it amplifies at the tool-workpiece contact point. Therefore, surface finish degrades rather than other system component failures, because chatter directly impacts the cut profile.
