Abstract
A slicing method and slicing apparatus eliminate occurrence of cracking and/or chipping of a to-be-machined object without reducing the processing speed thereof. To this end, the slicing method comprising cutting the to-be-machined object W by supporting the to-be-machined object W on a table,and causing this table,to travel in an x-axis direction while allowing a slicing blade,to rotate at a predetermined position. A sensor,detects a variable load F that the to-be-machined object receives during slicing and an actuator,operatively responds to receipt of a detection signal of the sensor,The actuator,forces the to-be-machined object W to deform in a direction which permits reduction of the aforesaid variable load F. The actuator is provided between the sensor,and table,or alternatively between the to-be-machined object W and sensor
