Vary the rpm, feedrate, or profile to eliminate the chatter, and I'm assuming you want the profile the same...you could boost rpm too, assuming your machine and tool can handle it. In the metal machining world there's a cellphone app that will listen to your audio of the machining process and analyze the vibrations and spit out an alternative rpm to try....don't think I've seen an analog for that in the wood world...
