I have a real problem with tool chatter when I use a flat or parting off shaped tool.
The tool tip is set to work centre height.
The tools chatter as soon as i start to cut at all speeds.
I have a new chuck with run out less than 0.03mm
i can not see any movement in the compound slide or the cross slide but there is quite a lot of backlash in the cross slide screw. Do you think this is the cause?
The head stock bearing sounds very smooth.
Other cuts tool shapes produce a very good finish similar to the finish I got on the new work lathe.
Thanks in advance for your help
