Ran a 0.0005 depth of cut on a spring pass and it fixed my finish issues

I was fighting with chatter marks on a 316 stainless part for three days straight. Decided to try a 0.0005 spring pass at 400 RPM as a last resort before re-grinding my insert. The finish came out mirror smooth and I still don't fully understand why it worked. Has anyone else seen a tiny cut like that actually cure a chatter problem?

Tiny cuts dampen harmonics. That shit works.

Yeah because we all want our guitar to sound like a tiny mosquito.
