Default Adding vibration to lathe cutting tool to aid cutting

Years ago I worked a ultrasound equipment manufacturer, one client
wanted a lathe tool holder modified with our ultrasonic transducer to
vibrate the tool 40,000 to 600,000 times a second. The amount of tool
movement is small (micrometers) and adjustable. The job was never completed.

Is this something that is in production?

Do you see how it would help in cutting.
