Chatter isn't a simple problem since it can come from many origins and there are many different solutions. The problem is essentially created by resonance within the machine tool that amplify vibrations that can originate in a wide variety of sources ranging from wheel slippage to noise from...
josBCC, You may want to talk with a vendor of doubledisc grinders or makers of wheels for those machines, since this is such a niche technology/industry that public information is hard to come by. Companies like Landis/Gardner are specialist in the wheels used in this case. You might also try...
I was wondering if the shingling effect was simply a visual phenomena or a characteristics that can be measured with a surface profilometer. The underlying concern here is whether the type of surface you describe affects the functionality of the workpiece. Visual effects are concerned with the...
What are the requirements for grinding? Surfaces flat and parallel to what tolerances? Dimensional tolerances? To what surface finish? The economics will depend quantity, which may justify expenses of developing a optimized process.

The issues raised here are discussed in a new book by David Whitehead -Surfaces and Their Measurement (see a posting at www.abrasivesmall.com/bksurfin.htm) You may be able to find his older book Handbook of Surface Metrology at a library somewhere. The limits of surface finishes for grinding...
