A numerical control method at least controls a spindle motor of a machine tool so as to perform machining in accordance with machining conditions. In the method, vibration occurring in a tool is acquired with a vibration acquisition unit, and the machining on a workpiece performed by a machining control unit is stopped when vibration having a predetermined amplitude or greater occurs in the tool. Based on state data indicating the state of the spindle motor at that time, multiple compensation plans for compensating the state of the spindle motor in order to suppress vibration occurring in the tool are calculated. The thus calculated multiple compensation plans are displayed on a display unit together with the state of the spindle motor at the time of occurrence of vibration having the predetermined amplitude or greater in the tool.
