  • Publication number: 20130008004
    Abstract: A method of making chatter-resistant end mills includes: (a) forming an end mill having unequal angular spacing between adjacent teeth, (b) cutting a test work piece with the end mill and measuring vibrations and resonance; (c) upon detecting undesired levels of vibration and resonance, adjusting the angular spacing between adjacent teeth to reduce vibration and resonance and forming another end mill having the adjusted angular spacing; (d) cutting a test work piece with the adjusted end mill and measuring vibrations and resonance; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) until an end mill is formed in which vibration produced by the angular spacing between at least one pair of adjacent teeth cancels out at least a portion of the vibration produced by the angular spacing between at least one other pair of adjacent teeth; and (f) making at least one production end mill conforming to step (e).

  • Patent number: 7665934
    Abstract: A cutting tap that has an elongate tap body with a fluted section at the axial forward end thereof wherein the fluted section includes a chamfered fluted section and a finishing fluted section. Each cutting thread in the chamfered fluted section has a cutting face disposed at a cutting face angle that becomes more negative the more axially rearward the cutting thread is from the axial forward end of the chamfered fluted section. Each cutting thread in the finishing fluted section has a cutting face disposed at a finishing cutting face angle that is essentially equal. The finishing cutting face angle is more negative than the cutting face angle for the cutting thread at the axial rearward termination of the chamfered fluted section.
