In this paper, a method of stability analysis for the general milling process is given. The milling operation is described by a linear differential-difference equation with periodic coefficients. An algorithm which can be used in conjunction with the digital computer is developed as a means of analytically determining the stability of this equation. This algorithm will permit the determination of the stability boundaries in the space of controllable parameters associated with a cutting operation and allows more realistic models for milling to be studied than have been attempted up to the present time. The technique is used to predict the stability in an example of a milling operation.
