In this paper, a novel controller is developed for control of turning and milling dynamics. The controller design benefits from the use of time-delays in controlling a dynamic system. The gains of the controller are determined by using the discrete optimal control method. Numerical simulations are carried out in order to verify the efficiency of the controller. The findings show that the designed controller can be effective in suppressing chatter in both turning and milling processes as well as improve the stability of the cutting processes with the introduced time-delay. The authors discuss the influence of designed time-delay on control performance and robustness, and point out the advantages of using a time-delayed controller for controlling cutting dynamics.
