An analytical solution for machining stability while considering process damping was developed, where the process damping model was dependent on a single empirical coefficient, C. Stability testing was completed using a single degree-of freedom flexure to identify the process damping coefficient for low-speed milling of AISI 1018 steel under various conditions. It was demonstrated that a reduction in the relief angle and an increase in flank wear of the cutting edge increased the process damping coefficient.
