Provided is a technique which can prevent abnormal vibrations from occurring on a resonator and apply, to a putting edge, vibrations with the magnitude of amplitude thereof adjusted in the direction of width of the edge, thereby cutting an object of interest with high accuracy. The resonator (21) with a grip portion grasped with clamp means (28) is supported by a support means (24), thereby preventing abnormal vibrations from occurring on the resonator (21). The resonator (21) has at least one elongated hole (26b) defined through a side thereof, thus allowing for adjusting the amplitude magnitude of vibrations in the direction of width of the cutting edge (23) on one end of the resonator (21). This enables vibrations with the amplitude of an adjusted magnitude in the direction of width to be applied to the cutting edge (23). Accordingly, the cutting edge (23) which is adequately vibrated can be used to cut the object of interest with high accuracy. |
