Abstract
A cutting system includes a material removal tool having a fluid nozzle with an adjustable diameter, a workpiece including a target shape for removal, and a controller operable to adjust the diameter of the nozzle to vary fluid flow and control an amount of material removed by the material removal tool. The controller is adapted to adjust the nozzle to vary the fluid flow based on a position of the nozzle and workpiece data preoperatively obtained from the workpiece via a continuous feedback loop. A method of cutting a bone is also provided.
