Abstract: Ultrasonic machining is one of the non-traditional machining processes that allows for obtaining small diameter holes having linear or curvilinear axis and variable cross section, both in conductive or insulating materials, without thermally affecting the workpiece material. Ultrasonic micromachining can be regarded as a system with distinctive correlations among the input and the output variables. This work presents two solutions for assembling the tool to the horn, either by means of a threaded joining or by using a soldered  joint. If the tool has a large length in comparison to the diameter, then buckling can occur and a brief analysis of this issue is included in the paper.
