Abstract
While a cutting head of an edge shaving tool shaves a material, a resilient support for the cutting head is repetitively struck to impart shockwaves to the cutting head. An edge shaving tool operating in this fashion has a resilient cutting head support for supporting a cutting head at one end thereof and a shockwave generator mounted for repetitively striking a side of the resilient cutting head support.
