WHISPERLINE – Vibration Damping

Tools for Lathe Machines

Vibrations are one of the most common problems that limit machining. In more severe
cases an operation becomes impossible due to excessive vibrations. In other cases,
machining is possible, but at the cost of reduced cutting conditions. Additional effects
of vibration include worse surface quality and a decrease in insert tool life.

Using ISCAR's WHISPERLINE tools can greatly reduce the above problems, leading
to a substantial increase in productivity, surface finish and insert tool life.

Vibration issues occur more drastically at large overhangs where, in many cases, machining
becomes impossible with conventional tools. However, improvements in all machining
parameters can be achieved also at shorter overhangs by implementing WHISPERLINE tools.
