Using a tool with an uneven tooth pitch radial depth of cut and under conditions which are not entirely stable. interferes with harmonic oscillation and, as a result, helps improve stability and reduce the risk of vibration. That means you should choose uneven tooth pitch if you anticipate a risk of vibration, i.e. pri- Entry of individual teeth Amplitude of vibration 706
