Abstract
A facial relief and seal creates a closed damping chamber between the spindle end face and adjacent tool support plate. A plurality of tools are located on the face plate near the outer periphery. In one embodiment, a viscous medium, such as oil, is provided in the damping chamber. In an alternate embodiment, a visco-elastic material, such as PVC, is provided in the damping chamber. Relative movement between the spindle end face and the tool support plate will cause vibration damping.
