Abstract: A dynamics model is established considering gyroscopic effects due to high speed rotating spindle-tool system in ultra-high speed milling (USM). The proposed method for predicting stability enables a new 3D stability lobe diagram to be developed in the presence of gyroscopic effects, to cover all the intermediate stages of spindle speed. The influences of the gyroscopic effects on dynamics and stability in USM are analyzed. It is shown that the gyroscopic effects lower the resonance response frequencies of the spindle-tool system and the stable critical depth of cut in ultra-high speed milling.
