Abstract
This method provides methods and apparatus for programmably regulating power provided to ultrasonically vibrate a metal-cutting tool, with power being regulated as a function of physical parameters measured during the cutting operation which are indicative of progress of the tool cutting the workpiece. The methods and apparatus regulate the power input to vibrate the tool in response to one or more sensed physical parameters to maintain the parameter(s) within preselected limits indicative of satisfactory cutting by the tool.
