What is balance and why is it important? If the mass is not rotating in perfect equilibrium it is said to be imbalanced. Generally, this is caused by

A massive factor of tool life and the quality of the finish on the end-product is the amount of vibration occurring in the machining process. You can see

When you stop to think about it, your cutting tools go through a lot. They are subjected to: High localised stress at the edge of the toolHigh temperatures
