facing off a flat disk.... Randy 03-22-2006

I have an 11 inch diameter 1/4" thick 304 ss disk, no matter what I
try I get chatter, anyone do this? I need both sides flat and
parallel. 4" hole in center. no combination of feeds and speeds got
rid of the chatter. it has some holes through it and they seem to set
up chatter. I was chucked on the OD.

any thoughts?

Tool post grinder? double sticky tape to a rotarty table on the
surface grinder? (grinder not big enough to do the whole thing)
Thank You,
Randy

Tool post grinder with a cup wheel should work well.

Best Regards
Tom.

Embed the disk in a thin 'tray' of fixturing metal. It should help damp
vibration.

Or... adhesive laminate a sheet of lead to the backside before chucking.

Toolpost grinder.
SFM at the center is going to be much lower than the outside. Hard to
setup a single point cutter for that kind of range.

That gives me an interesting / odd idea. With the availability of
inexpensive VFDs that at their simplest can take their speed setting
from an analog voltage, it seems it would not be impractical to attach a
sensor to the lathe cross slide or possibly tool holder to setup a
constant linear velocity drive.
