1. Introduction
Silent Tools has long been the trademark for tool holders, designed
to minimize vibration with a dampening system inside the tool body.
The majority of Silent Tools customers use them for long overhangs
and poor accessibility. However, great productivity increases and
surface quality improvements are to be gained, even for shorter
overhangs.
It is not possible to avoid vibration entirely in metal cutting opera-
tions, but there are various ways of reducing it. This application guide
will help you reach productive machining with minimized vibration.
We will go through application techniques, how to avoid costly mis-
takes when machining with long overhangs and machining principles,
as well as recommendations and troubleshooting for the most com-
mon operations and applications in the areas of turning, milling and
boring.
Vibration is often the limiting parameter in gaining high output in
the machine; e.g. turn down speed, feed, and depth of cut. By using
dampened Silent Tools you can increase the cutting parameters and
at the same time get a more secure and vibration free process with
close tolerances, good surface and much higher metal removal rate,
which in summary gives you a lower cost per component.
Enjoy the silence!
