Basic Considerations
Following all the recommendations below (as closely as possible)
will greatly improve WHISPERLINE tool performance.
1 Bar D-min parameter should be 10%- 20% smaller than the
machined bore to allow for chip evacuation and deflection.
Example: For a bore diameter of 80 mm (3") it is recommended to use a 60 mm (2.5") USER GUIDE - WHISPERLINE VIBRATION DAMPING TOOLS FOR LATHE MACHINES
bar rather than a 80 mm (3") bar. Although the 80 mm bar is stiffer, the lack of space
for chip evacuation will decrease the surface finish and can cause breakages.
2 Clamping stability is crucial! Please follow the guidelines below as strictly as possible:
a Increase clamping length as much as possible.
The minimum recommended length is 4 X bar diameter.
