OD-blades are widely used for precision slicing of hard and brittle materials such as ceramic and other new materials. Now, in order to improve OD-blade slicing performance, the development of slicing method for a high efficiency and accuracy has become important, and various research studies such as low-frequency vibration slicing have been performed. In this paper, we will discuss the principle of elliptical vibratory OD-blade slicing and the spindle mechanism produced elliptical vibration. Moreover, we will describe the effectiveness and practicability, as a practical method in the elliptical vibration slicing should be compared with those of the conventional method without using applied vibration. Several advantages of the vibration slicing method have been shown through basic experimental examination.
