Taming chatter on a light lathe

On my South Bend 13-in, roughing 4140 PH, 0.015 in DOC at about 280 RPM, an HSS bit honed on an India stone still chattered until I dropped tool height a hair and snugged the compound gib. What’s your reliable manual fix — feed, rake, or setup tweak — you try first before swapping tooling?
