So, we get chatter, we might even break the tool, or it really depends on how fast you're going with that tool and that's a problem. So- and that can really cause a lot of trouble. And all of a sudden, now that engagement goes up to over half of the tool, so it goes up by 50% or 100%. Now as you get into the corner of that pocket, bad things start happening because you were about a quarter of the tool engagement. So traditionally if you had a regular end mill and you're machining on a pocket, as your going down a straight edge of the pocket, you're engaging maybe a quarter of the end mill. They're what's called a constant engagement tool path. Some companies call it adaptive contouring, but all these type of tool paths are pretty much the same. Now, different companies use different names for the same thing. But the companies who are developing this style of tool path have been doing a lot of work over the past few years. Now dynamic milling has not been around for that long, maybe like 10 years. In this video, we're going to be talking about dynamic milling.
