We have 3 newer Haas machines.
MiniMill 3yrs old
MiniMill2 3yrs old
DM2 6months old
All of them show chatter marks in the X direction.
I have tried everything to eliminate it, We are getting ready to buy 2 more DM2's, But now I am hesitant.
12 years machinist shop manager, So not a noob.
First Haas machines.
Aluminum 6061 have tried the obvious machining adjustments, speed, feed, WOC , different tool holders, different end mills, different helix angles.
Are these machines just so shit that they cant do a 1" DOC .003 to .01 WOC clean up pass on 6061.
In truth I shouldn't be trying to figure out the problem because the fact that it only does it in the X direction on 3 machines shows it is the machines and nothing else, but because I have the machines already, I need to minimize or get rid of the chatter marks, and I cannot.
Anyone else running into this?
