The stick-slip motion is found to occur in machine tool slides under certain conditions which are
(a) at very high feed rates and / or when there is small difference between the coefficients of static and dynamic friction at the slider and guideway interfaces
(b) at very high feed rates and when there is small difference between the coefficients of static and dynamic friction at the headstock spindle and bed of machine tool
(c) at very low feed rates and/ or when there is large difference between the coefficients of static and dynamic friction at the slider and guideway interfaces
(d) at very low feed rates and large difference in coefficient of only dynamic friction at head stock spindle and bed of machine tool
